You can't ask people for their grade because they will obviously lie about it. :P

Skype: StormzInvader (send me a message because I normally decline random friend requests.)
Language Arts Grade: A, I think. :P
Reason: It sounds like an interesting idea!

Skype: Fred Hawkins (a few may pop up, so its Fred Hawkins from Perth)
LA Grade: Man when you say LA grade do you mean like English or?
(Sorry it might be different where i live)
But for English my grades are somewhere around 7-8/10, which is how we mark it.
Reason: English is my absolute favourite subject, when I'm older, maybe even in a matter of a few years I've ALWAYS wanted to be a journalist, write novels, or produce other writing. But i also want to help the Avicus community to a phenomenal and serious level :)
Time Zone: Australian Western Standard Time (AWST)
I am heavily active in the game and am guaranteed on the forums at LEAST once or twice a day :)

OPTOBAT September 1, 2014 at 11:09 PM UTC

Roman, i changed my Skype name a little bit so type in:
fredhaawkins
and it should work (yes, with 2 a's)
Also ill take the test now :)

OPTOBAT September 2, 2014 at 12:09 AM UTC

Roman, i think that test you provided is not quite worthy of seeing if I'm capable, because i got one question out of 5 right, even though 3 of them are personal answers that do not have a right or wrong, and the other two I'm adamant that i got correct.
My Skype is fredhaawkins
so contact me if you would like to talk privately :) 
Im still hopeful to be a part of the gazette :D

Phobiaxx September 2, 2014 at 12:09 AM UTC

oh shoot, didnt wk out as i planned D: the last 3 are worth 0 points, instead of answering it there,could u paste it here? D:ill get back to u on da others
EDIT: nvm , wked just as i planned :d the last 3 will always be marked wrong, it'll be graded manually

Phobiaxx September 2, 2014 at 12:09 AM UTC

both of u got #1 right
both of u got #2 wrong, but for higger, i'll make an exception, since it can be "hole" also, i think
both =#3 correct
op, u had #4 wrong
5 is right for u guyz
higger:
#6... paragraph...
#7...essay....
op:
#6 spelling...
#7 spelling...
Guys, I think you should retake, I believe I didn't take clear enough instructions ;p
I'll tell you when I updated the test.

OPTOBAT September 2, 2014 at 8:09 AM UTC

okay man, ill retake it now

OPTOBAT September 2, 2014 at 8:09 AM UTC

Roman you might need to mark my personal questions manually because i still got only 2 right after putting my heart into a 320 word essay on Avicus. :(
If you want i can post the essay and you can judge me from there.

Phobiaxx September 2, 2014 at 9:09 PM UTC

op, it automatically gives u a 0 for those ;p

SGMC September 2, 2014 at 10:09 PM UTC

I tried to take that test... got the the last question and gave up. I mean come on, an entire essay? My homework is hard enough x_x

OPTOBAT September 3, 2014 at 11:09 PM UTC

@first nu sry ;c

For all of you people who think a paragraph and essay are 2 long, you can instead:
a)do the paragraph+state your grade level, and grade mark.
b)take a picture of one of your essays, or copy/paste it and show me.
