<p>xiggi–if you learned something 2 years ago and have not used it since–how well would you do on a test in that subject, seriously. How often does anyone use geometry after they have taken it in high school–beyond the basic stuff like knowing what a 90 degree angle is? Even college math majors do not take geometry again. I’m guessing that the only real major that would would be engineering–structural and architects. Why the focus for such an important test on a subject that 99% of the kids are NEVER going to use again. Test them on algebra, something that does get used later in life by a lot of people.</p>
<p>I had to take a class a couple years ago for work. I haven’t used it since. If I had to I could look up the information if I needed it but if I had to take a test on that now, I know I would fail. I remember the basic principals, just not the details…and those details are what show up in the test.</p>
