Hello mcintyred,
Just as described in the sign-up procedure the quiz is based on the basic strategies described in the basic articles. These articles give beginning poker players a sense of how to play and prescribe a very tight aggressive tight of poker. If you read the articles and answer the quiz according to the articles - it is really quite easy to pass.
If however you don't read them and try to answer them according to how you would play - it becomes considerably more difficult to pass - they are after all BASED on the basic articles and not on "what is right or wrong in poker". If we were to make a quiz on "what is right or wrong" there would be no way to pass it - since as you already said there is no right or wrong. Depending on the limit, the players involved, previous action at the table, your own image, and the image of your opponents there could be a whole row of actions possible.
This is why we make the quiz simple and base it on our most basic literature. After you read this literature and passed the quiz you gain access to the advanced literature, the live coachings, the videos, and the hand evaluations that start covering the more individual and complicated aspects of poker. These however have no place in a basic beginner quiz - which is simply there to ensure that beginners know the basics and are willing to learn.
Thousands of players have become winning players on the highest of limits through this poker school - brushing us off as idiots because you failed our quiz after not having read the articles it was based on isn't exactly a very nice introduction.
That having been said. Welcome to PokerStrategy.
