When I took the CHSPE(which is supposed to be better than the GED), they had me write an essay about a famous person, first. Then came the test; they asked questions like: if there are 200 reindeer, and 50% of them have horns, how many of the reindeer have horns? Sometimes they'd make it more complicated by going:
There are 200 reindeer, 50% have horns, and 50% of the ones with horns are female, how many of the reindeer are female with horns?
I ALMOST DIDNT PASS
