Evaluation
If you got 8 - 10 questions right, then you did really good.
If you got 5-7 questions right, then you did alright, but you should read the chapter again.
If you got 1-4 questions right, then read over the chapter again and try putting down some notes to help you remember things.
If you got 0 questions right, then you should rethink your dreams about becoming an astronaut and move onto something else.
Conclusion
The universe in an amazing place and everyone should know at least something about it, learn, kids.
