On September 3rd and 4th, 2002, students from around the world currently studying year 12 in Queensland sat down for the Queensland Core Skills test, or QCS.
One of these students was Ross Plater, of PlaterCorp fame. Another one was Matthew Strain, of 'The I Hate Matt Strain Dimension' fame. Both are believed to have done rather poorly, with one teacher who glanced at Matt's written task muttering the words, "This looks like," and "Shit".

Item 12: This kid has a problem with: a) People taking his picture b) His mum forcing him to wear make-up c) His little brother stealing his toys d) Substance abuse

So I hear some of you older and non-QLD folks say, "QCS - What?". Well, the QCS is one test made up of four tests, those four being a written task, a multiple choice test, a short response test and another multiple choice test. All of which are gay and hard. But it's not all that sexy.
There was this one question about bronze casting that really spun Matt out. It wasn't what the question was asking that put him off, but the subject matter made him think of the time he tried to make a casting of his own genetalia with flour, water and glue. After making a cast and putting the doughy mixture in the oven for half an hour, the results looked a lot like a small dog after getting hit by a train. So yes, it was frighteningly accurate.

Item 46: The men in the above drawing are: a) Eating breakfast b) Finishing lunch c) Still hungry d) Homosexual

However it tasted horrible.

Another wobbly one was where Matt was asked to write a caption under some guy eating hot sauce or some shit that expressed the essence of 'understatement' in a humour cartoon. Matt thought he'd be cool and write "Check this, I got headies this morning" under it. I have no idea why the fuck he would do that.
For the writing task, all Matt did was a complete rip-off of Weird Science. It was the same story with Gary and Wyatt's names switched around and the girl now a middle aged woman named Cheryl. Considering the stimulus material was 'space', it's a sure bet he

Item 57: Most people's reaction to this picture is: a) Holy fuck! b) Hehehe c) Oh, haha d) Hahaha, shit!

fucked up something extreme.

Another question was about shelled and unshelled pecan nuts. Yes, nuts, so I bet we all know what Matt thought about there. This was the last question Matt did, and answered it with "More people should shave thier nuts" after 30 solid minutes of sulking and playing with himself. Considering it was a multiple choice test and he wrote his answer on the sheet rather than filling in a circle, he most likely failed that one too.
If you ask Matt he'll tell you the real reason he failed the QCS is because he ran out of green jellybeans during the writing task, and he couldn't concentrate because he had a heavy Tikka Masala the night before. However, I hope that this website has given you the truth behind Matt's disasterous cavalcade that was, his QCS effort.
