Before the March 11 Nicholls Worth, I quizzed 35 current students on the same questions that are listed above.

The students quizzed were from every sex, race and classification.The average quiz score out of the 35 students quizzed is 70. The highest quiz score was a 90.

According to the quiz results, question number seven was the easiest question and question number ten was the hardest.

After taking the quiz, check your answers at the bottom of the page. The quiz is worth 100 points. For every wrong answer, subtract 10 points.

If you scored a perfect paper, congratulate yourself for being a Nicholls sports prodigy. If you scored between 90-70, don’t be upset because your score was average. If you scored between 60-40, your Nicholls’ sports knowledge can use some touching up. And if your score was below 30, I suggest you attend every sporting event and read The Nicholls Worth sports section every week.
