8/10 - "Congratulations! You have aced this English exam.".
I don't think whether adults can pass it or not is the point. We've already got careers in our chosen industry.
These tests and the curriculum in general are to prepare kids to have a good rounded ability in all the basic skills, to prepare them for whatever career path they take.
The are skills that I learned at school that I no longer have, as I've not used them in 15 years.

That wasn't easy at all.

I got 4, I could never do this at school and 30 years after I left I'm still no good it at.
Good job I can add up. Maths I'm fine, Grammar I've always been shocking.

This probably explains why I was never any good at being an employee and just decided to do my own thing.

I know its a long time since I left school but I found the majority of that test pretty difficult and I did well at English all those years ago.

I got 3/10 and I'm not ashamed. 
I can safely say that this is the first instance since leaving school 10 years ago that I have been asked anything about 'clauses' or 'active voice'. They're irrelevant in every day life.
I can spell, my grammar is good and I can communicate well with anyone I meet.
I'm more concerned about the fact it's 10 years since I left school.
