Included above is an internet find of a failed school test that tickled my funny bone and deserved a quick re-do as a free PDF download for the amusement of other teachers looking to teach their students a bit of preparedness.
Click here to download this free PDF design of this quick and simple joke test.
Use it on your grade to high school students; the PDF is under 30K, has no branding or small print and is spell-checked for those extra-attentive students. Of course, the abused test at the top of this post is the real winner, having made it to the bottom without reading first!
