Helping you out with this, wouldn't be fair.

I can't believe that this is what the provincial exams are like now.

In my day, it was 1000 multiple choice questions, 10 essay questions, and 250 short answer questions, and you had an hour to do it. And you couldn't use your fancy calculators, and they only gave you a quarter page of blank paper to work out your answers. And they issued you cheap chinese made pencils that snapped everytime you colored in the C answer on the answers books. And most people failed out of panic, and the rest of them ruthlessly soiled their pants as they're eyes blew out of their heads.
Yeah, but dude that was a looooong time ago!!

Work the system. Don't make a mistake that could cost you.

Piece o cake. Just go with the first answer you choose and don't go over your answers when your done...you'll change more right ones into wrong ones than wrong ones into right ones. You picked the answer for a reason.

And we didn't have no fancy pencils, we yanked the teath out of a bear's snarling jaw and used it's urine for ink. Thats where the saying "your report really stinks" comes from.

And we didn't have no email or internet either, we bought our porn in stores where we had to interact with sallow ######ed teenagers who didn't know where the latest cave edition of girls gone wild was. And our idea of email was to tie a note around a spear and throw it at your recipiant, but you never hit him because its hard to throw a spear with a 100 lb rock slab that smells like bear urine tied to it and you either suffered a hernia or threw up.

You kids have it so easy.
Luxury. There were twenty-eight of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road. Every night we had to get up and lick the road clean with our tongues.

Try and tell the young people that today and they won't believe you.

At least you had a shoe box, I lived in a frozen waste land and every night we had to rip open a yeti with our bare hands and camp inside to keep warm.

We made toy trains out of its intestines to keep ourselves amused.

A first date usually involved shaving her back by the fire.

And you kids thought you were tough.

And dads pajama's your kidding, those things were sacred in the village, we had to wear hand me downs, from our sisters, but it was a right of passage and it made us tough.

Also captain the curriculum of schools in this day in age are a little more advanced than when 15-20 years ago! Not to mention it changes every year.

Did you ever do university level math in grade 12?

I realize most of your response is a joke but i just thought you should know the facts.
