Culturally Sensitive Exam Many social pundits theorize the reason inner city school children do so poorly on standardized tests is because these exams are culturally biased as part of some sinister white surburbanite plan (of course a much more likely explanation than the idea that drugs, guns and teen pregnancy are really responsible for the disruption in our educational system). So bearing that in mind, here's a culturally normalized standard test: ________________________________________________________________________ City of East Los Angeles High School Math Proficiency Final Exam Name:____________ Alias:____________ Gang:____________ 1. Johnny has an AK-47 with a 40 round clip. If he misses 6 out of 10 shots, and he shoots 13 times at every drive by shooting, how may drive by shootings can he attend before he has to reload? 2. Jose has 2 ounces of cocaine and he sells an 8-ball to Ricky for $320 and 2 grams to D.J. for $85 per gram. What is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn't cut it? 3. Rufus is pimping for 3 girls. If his price is $65 per John, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800 per day crack habit? 4. Jerome wants to cut his 1/2 pound pound of heroin and make a 20% profit. How many ounces of cut will he need? 5. Willie gets $200 for stealing a BMW, $50 for stealing a Chevy, and $200 for a 4x4.
