The questions weren't that bad. But they're written obviously to screw over Black people. A 5th grader would fail that test.

Bruh, it’s time pressure and if you miss one you fail. And what the fukk does math have to do w/ voting?

Thank you for agreeing with me.
If they could do this today they would.
"They gave this same test to Harvard students and not a single one passed. Just shows how criminal the test really was."

fukking hilarious that there are multiple grammatical errors as well as several logic shortcomings in the test itself.
You have to average under 20 seconds per question to finish within the 10-minute limit. The average person with anything under a 120 IQ doesn't have a chance of passing that shyt under time pressure even if it is graded "fairly". Even if you're a careful thinker and understand every question, there are so many chances to make little fukk-ups (especially questions 12, 21, 24, 25, 29) that virtually everyone is going to make at least one mistake.
And, of course, it's not graded fairly. There are multiple questions that can be interpreted ambiguously so you can fail someone regardless of what they write.

Test grader could easily claim, "It told you to spell backwards, then gave you the word to spell backwards. Like 'Run quickly, home.' So you should have written sdrawrof."
I would interpret the question the way you did, or course, but the graders had a lot of power to do whatever the fukk they wanted.

of course, that was the whole goal, to trip the voter up.... this is one of the reasons i get mad at people who say black people are in the position we're in because we don't act "white" enough.... white people know our intelligence is on par with theirs, that's why they have to set so many traps.... it ain't about integrating with a demonic system, it's about out maneuvering it....

1. Draw a line around the number or letter of this sentence.
If you answer this incorrectly you fail.
and i subjectively decide what's correct or incorrect. today i feel like whatever you answer will be incorrect.
Or is it “backwards, forwards“?20. Spell backwards, forwards.
backwards, duh!
You’re acting like this is an IQ test. It’s meant to create ambiguity so that black voters can be rejected.
