I got the same 99+/99+. I guessed at quite a few of them and think I got at least some of those wrong, so either their standards are low or I was darn lucky.

Ditto -- and I'm sure I got a lot of the questions wrong. But the result says:

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

That probably simply means, all the others participants were equally bad.

HTB.

Edited to add:

Did all of you people read the right line? The big announcement in the middle is the 99.9% (compared to other people your age and gender). All the way at the top, almost unnoticable it says " You scored 55% Travel Smart! 71% Travel Safe!" I hope I don't have to be embarrassed

I saw high-70 something for travel smart & mid-80 something for travel safety, but didn't cut and paste that and got the following:

You scored higher than 99% on Travel Smarts
You scored higher than 99% on Travel Safety

99 relative to comp group, 83 and 86 general. Train questions were hard since I rarely use them outside of Japan.

That test does provide varied results: on my first go-round, I scored 71/88 (resulting in 99/99); I deliberately failed the second time around (20/31) and was advised that I scored "higher than 0%" for either branch of the test. So there you go.
