I scored 8/8. I studied (in the loose sense) economics for a year at college. As I had nothing to show for that, a few years later I entered the Higher Economics exam, read through my old textbooks, and was awarded my only Higher 'A'. I remember going up the town to the Pizzaland buffet for lunch between papers :-). (In the "The Young Ones" quiz: 9/10.)
