About this ebook
With more than 30 million books sold, the My Weird School series really gets kids reading!
In this eighth book in the My Weirder School series, college professor Dr. Nicholas visits A.J.’s class to help the students improve their standardized test scores in history. The weird thing is, Dr. Nicholas doesn’t care about the date Christopher Columbus came to America, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, or other important historical facts. She’s more interested in weird information like the history of the toilet bowl! She even built a time machine to take the class on a field trip to the past and future. Who will get stuck in time? And how will they get out?
Perfect for reluctant readers and word lovers alike, Dan Gutman’s hugely popular My Weird School series has something for everyone. Don’t miss the hilarious adventures of A.J. and the gang.

The Big Test
My name is A.J. and I hate tests.
Tests are no fun at all. If you ask me, we should take all the tests and throw them into a giant garbage can.
No, I take that back. If you ask me, we should throw all the tests into a giant paper shredder. Shredding paper is cool. Sometimes my dad lets me shred papers for him at home. I wish I could shred stuff all day long.
Especially tests.
At school the other day, we were minding our own business when our teacher, Mr. Granite, said the most horrible thing in the history of the world.
Clear off your desks. It’s time for a test.
WHAT?!
everybody yelled.
Noooooooooooooo!
shouted Michael, who never ties his shoes.
I didn’t study for a test!
shouted Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food.
That’s not fair!
shouted Alexia, this girl who rides a skateboard all the time.
You didn’t tell us we were going to have a test!
shouted Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes.
Everybody was freaking out! It was like we just heard the news that a meteor was about to destroy the earth.

Well, almost everybody was freaking out.
"I love tests!" said Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair.
Me too!
said her crybaby friend Emily, who agrees with everything Andrea says. Tests are fun!
Those two probably study for tests when they could be watching TV or playing video games and having fun. What is their problem?
Relax!
said Mr. Granite. Every student in the state is taking this test today. You don’t have to study for it. The Board of Education just wants to find out how much you know.
I’m bored of education,
I announced.
Mr. Granite walked around the room and put a sheet of paper on each of our desks—face down.
Do you all have a number two pencil?
he asked.
We all started giggling because Mr. Granite said number two.
Everybody knows what number two
means, and it doesn’t have anything to do with pencils. They should really use a different number for pencils so kids wouldn’t confuse them with the other number two.
Take your time,
Mr. Granite told us. These are questions every American should be able to answer. In fact, many of these questions are given to people who want to become citizens of our country.
What if I don’t know the answers?
I asked.
Don’t worry, A.J.,
said Mr. Granite. "This test will be a piece
