About This Quiz

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER! Actually, with this quiz, it's back in session! Every year, millions of children, teenagers and adults are heading to office supply stores to stock up for the new year. From Staples to Office Depot, buy some school supplies and we'll tell you which clique you fit in with!

Every July, just when it seems like the summer holiday is finally underway, you'll see a back-to-school commercial pop up. Between the last few weeks of August and the first few weeks of September, you'll see millions of students crowd the office supply stores to stock up. From notebooks to highlighters to pens, which school supplies were you buying?

On a level of 1 to 10, how prepared were you? If you were a jock, you might've been solely focused on your grades so you could continue playing your sport. You probably stuck to the basics of notebooks, pens and pencils. 

For those who were "geeks" or "nerds," your school supply arsenal came more prepared than that! While you had these basics, you probably even had binders, folders, protractors, staplers, and  hard drives! If you were bypassing the school supplies all together, you might've been the slacker. 

School supplies are extremely important to the success of a student. When you bought your school supplies, were you planning to excel like the nerds or coast by like the jocks?

Buy some school supplies with this quiz and we'll tell you which clique you fit in with.
