Just one in five adults managed to pass this primary school test

How would you get on?

We're fairly happy that our days of exams are behind us, especially given how surprisingly tricky even a primary school-level test could be. A significant number of people struggled to do well in a UK SAT-style test recently. Explore Learning asked 4,000 adults to take the six question test. Just 20 per cent managed to get full marks in it. A quarter of those who took the test were only able to answer three or fewer questions correctly, reports Huffington Post. The literacy questions proved especially tricky - 32 per cent were unable to identify an adjective while 52 per cent of per cent couldn't spot a relative clause in a sentence. Could you do better? Have a go at the questions below.   1. Which word in this sentence is an adjective? The coat I bought has deep pockets.   2. What is 589 + 1,734?   3. Choose the relative clause in the following sentence I sent an email to my friend who lives in Australia.   4. Emma baked some cakes but didn’t have enough icing for them all. For every 4 cakes Emma baked, only 3 were iced. Altogether, 18 cakes were iced. How many cakes did Emma bake?   5. Which number is 10 times greater than three hundred and four?   6. Which verb completes the sentence so that it uses the subjunctive form? If I ____ the teacher, I would let the class leave early.         Answers: 1.Deep 2. 2,323 3. Who lives in Australia 4. 24 5. 3,040 6. Were
