1950s Home Economics test

I got a 90%. I did take home ec back in the day but it was in the late 80’s, so much of this would not have been covered. I am no domestic goddess. Photo clues were my friend. lol

I got 96% but in my defense I have never made Jelly and I don't really understand the one about table service.
I said 'tonic' (wild guess) and I don't understand their way of answering that one.

88%. A few of those were just weird. Like what to call the work a woman does at home.... I'd never heard it called any of the options but I had heard the explanation after I got it wrong. Just never heard actual people call it that when referring to the work. Mmmm forgot what else I missed but they were all of that context sort of thing. This is what researchers call it but that has nothing to do with what non researchers or people outside of academics called it called it type of thing.

94%. I don’t cook and took home ec over 30 years ago. 😂

92%. Missed the jelly and tonic ones too, and the last one about the chair.

Home Ec teacher here also was raised in the 50's and taught home management by mother in the 50's. But never heard about the work a woman did in a home being called Labor Income. I missed a few others as well. Never knew about using the left side of the chair to sit and get up. Did not get a score as the internet glitched and it was not ever finished calculating.

88%
some of those things I never heard of, and I guessed (correctly) getting off a chair on the left - who knew?!?

That was fun. 82 I might have gotten higher if I had taken a little more time. It kept closing on me

I got a 92%! I missed the jelly one, the table service and the labor income (never heard of that one!)

90%. Some were tricky though...I did home ec in junior high.

I scored 88%. I took a Home Ec class in the late 70’s.

94%. I missed 2. The jelly and the compromise. We made jelly every summer and I don’t recall mom ever using that term.

The rest were all routine things from my childhood.

Thanks Librarylady for posting this.

I got 86%.

I got the egg one wrong - because I really did think eggs, but didn't think they'd make it so easy as to put a photo of eggs above the question, so I picked something else.

I got the jelly one wrong as well - beause I assumed "Jello" not jam/jelly!

Same. I selected Tonic too. Weird.

Btw, most of these questions have nothing to do with the 50's and are more basic knowledge of those who are into cooking. 🤷‍♀️
