Anyone could have told you this. I'm only a deviation above the average person, but there's a chance that America failed me enough in the subject of math that YES 33% of us (more) would indeed fail such a test.

Quick: If you take out a $1000 loan that has a 20% rate, how much will you owe a year in interest?

Answer: $200

But where is the deflation, the effective annual rate, cost of opportunity and early payment discount or penalty?

even as far back as 2005 personal finance was an elective in my high school

not even mentioning how bad most kids are at math in the US, they have absolutely no compulsory education as far as actual economics

I'd say this is intentional, why educate kids about economics when they can learn how oppressive whitey is?

5/6 reporting:
two of the questions seem really slanted.
The bond one because most people really don't have any interaction with a bond in their life (or at least here, anyway).
That's the one I got wrong.

The bonus question at the end is slanted a bit, since the result is literally right on the boundary between two of the answers, so I assume they intentionally made it a trap question.

I wonder if OP isn't a proxy and he's actually sitting in the middle of the desert whining about Americans on the racist anime pornography forum. The UAE crosses my mind maybe once or twice annually, and its usually a fleeting thought about how awful it must be to be a Muslim. He can't pet a doggy, drink a beer, or eat a slice of bacon, but he has to pray five times a day to his pedophile warlord prophet. I guess I can understand why he's so bitter and frustrated.

They already have accelerated programs for kids that can handle it. Now there's a reasonable argument that humanities are overemphasized in school, but even with the level we give, most people are completely illiterate. Even the "smart" kids who stay STEM through school are completely incapable of working in teams or writing something coherent. People will always be deficient; having unrealistic standards will only increase the number of people who fail.

It's just like a high-level STEM course taught at world-class universities. Just because the testing average is 30% doesn't mean all the students are stupid, just that the standards are unrealistic, and the guys above one standard deviation below the mean (in this case maybe 20-25%?) are going to pass anyways, because you can't run a fucking university where 90% of students fail required classes.
