I took it about 10 years ago and a majority of my class did fine on it. Most of the questions are stuff kids should have picked up on from elementary school on. Yes some of the questions are pretty tough, but it's not like the whole test is that rough. And what is considered a passing score? 60%? Hell even the stoner kids were passing it.

Have you seen example questions on a WASL? Its not a hard test... not by any stretch of the imagination. As hard as it is to believe, most politicians are probably smarter than most people. Just because they have different views that you, doesn't mean they're stupid. “we hate it with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns”
