You paid attention during 97% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

I wonder which question I missed? Probably the one about the worlds three biggest religions? (And I totally slept through way more of highschool than that.)

And speaking of high schools, now I go back to watching the jdrama version of Gokusen, which I am inexplicably addicted to.

whether Iran is an Arabic country (it...isn't?)

You may be confusing Islamic for Arabic. They're not the same, even though they overlap. If you call someone Arabic, you're describing their ethnic group; if you call someone Muslim, you're describing their religion. Not all Arabs are Muslims, and not all Muslims are Arabs.

Persians are the largest ethnic group in Iran. Their language is Indo-European. (Arabic is Semitic.) Actually, Wikipedia says only about 3% of Iranians are Arab, which is a lot lower than I thought it was... hmm.

Huh. Actaully, I wasn't confusing Islamic and Arabic; I just thought the Arabic population was much bigger. Only 3%? Really? *blinks*

I think I was just thrown off by the phrasing of the question. I wasn't sure whether they meant 'an Arabic country' as in its geographic location, the size of the ethnic group, or what. I'm still not entirely clear on what they're asking, though looking at a map I can see that Iran is farther off to the side of the Arabic peninsula than I pictured it. Oh well.
