About the Chinese 5th Grader quiz

Students in China tackle fractions, word problems, logic puzzles, science and classical poetry by Grade 5. This quiz pulls 10 questions from that kind of curriculum, plus a bonus question on Chinese characters. You get 30 seconds for each question and no calculator, just like a real classroom test.

Most grown-ups are surprised by how hard it is. Score 8 or more and you’re officially as smart as a Chinese 5th grader. Curious how school works there? Read more about education in China.
