A couple of the questions were surprisingly easy (e.g. find the area of a circle, given its radius), but you're right about most of it.
Interesting how on the English section, the questions were basically trivia. There wasn't much at all in that part testing skills, as opposed to specific knowledge.

The English section, in addition to being beset by trivia, also misspelled 'Bismarck'. And what the hell does Otto von Bismarck have to do with English, anyway?
