No . . . who, in this day and age is taught classical Greek language, or Latin? So that's a fail for me right there. the History, Geography, Math and Geometry portions I feel confident of passing, however.
I wrote "your mom" on the grammar and on the math I just put everything into retaliation questions and circled "bra" in algebra and said "you put bra..." Then I ate page 5 and wiped my tears with page 7. Page 8 I showed them. I said "planes haven't been created yet!" And turned it in.
basically, this was me. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gk5R9GmIsAs

Not the same exam, but the sentiment here hold true:

Short version - most people then couldn't pass the exam either. Exams are tests of memorized facts and processes, not mental capacity.

So...I'll see you at the reunion
Any skit that works komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti into the joke is okay by me.
Maybe I could if all the other candidates were slightly less intelligent than me.
I'm not interested in attending any school that thinks Themistocles was super cool.
Huh? They didn't teach Latin in High School? How can anyone survive without learning Latin?
I'm a Yale man.
We think Themistocles was a crafty warmonger.

I heard Themistocles did not get into Harvard based on lack of morals. He was with Testocles and Gonadius when the Athena Bar and Massage parlor was raided.
Yeah, latin and greek are not something too common these days, so no go on that. 
. The geography - I could do some of it, but not most. That's just memorization. The math part is trivial. That's low level high school stuff there (if even that).

wow, I don't think I could do much of any of it, even though there was a time I could have done the math.
I've had four years of Latin over my education. Hot damn.
Yes, the math isn't all that bad, really.
The Greek is . . . well . . . Greek to me.

Greek I understand might not be taught but Latin? How do kids learn English if they don't understand the root of many words? Then again, many probably don't.
Yale makes a nice forklift.
