About the Academy of Common Sense

Welcome to the Academy of Common Sense—where the rules are simple, the test is fun, and the only requirement is basic everyday wisdom. We're not a university, we’re not accredited, and we don’t offer student loans. What we do offer is a quick, entertaining exam that checks whether you have what it takes to navigate the real world without getting confused by doors labeled “PULL.” 

The Academy was founded with one mission: celebrate practical thinking. Our Common Sense Exam blends real-life scenarios, practical questions, and a few gentle surprises to keep things interesting. Pass the test, pay five bucks, and you’ll earn a sharp-looking Certificate of Achievement to show off your smarts.

Whether you’re proving it to yourself, your friends, or your coworkers, we’re here to honor the rare and noble skill known as common sense.
