How would you have fared in a Victorian School?

Every now and again, a little piece of ephemera comes along that catches the imagination. This is the midsummer exam paper for 1894 at Trinity College, Glenalmond in Scotland: The General Paper. I've been having fun all weekend trying the different sections so I decided to share the fun today. I'm not offering any prizes, nor will there be any answers given as definitive by me but, if you want to have a bash or ask questions of others, you are more than welcome to use the comments below. Of course, Google will be your friend in sorting out more obscure answers but give it at least one go 'under exam conditions'.
