Can I actually take the whole exam and find out? And how much time do I get to study, because one of the questions they show in the article straight up says to write an essay on one of the list of topics provided.

I do not pass regular English exams and I am going to pass old ones.

I got c right!

The first essay question isn’t that far off from a modern Ph.D. exam, but it’s too vague. I expect otherwise it’s the same, with citations from memory.

Not gonna lie. I’m 47, and probably couldn’t pass an English exam from modern days, let alone one from 1913.

For a moment I read the headline as “in 1913” rather than “of 1913”, and thought to myself, don’t be silly, I wasn’t born then and neither were you.

Also, there are a few people alive today who are older than 112, but they might not have been able to take the test, either then or now.
