I've read some rather funny stories on this site about standardized tests in non-English speaking countries, where (for example) all of the answers are correct, or none of the answers are correct, or the questions themselves make so sense at all. But I would have to say this "workbook" designed for a high school diploma scam takes the cake. You've got to see the crazy questions and answers to believe it!

38. How many chemicals cigarette smoke have? Approximately.

40. What the initials A.M. and P.M. means?

43. Who invented the aero planes?

47. What does H "o" 2 represents in science?


The predators behind this scam targeted immigrants, selling a bogus plan for a bogus high school diploma in several states throughout the U.S.
