It's super weird. I feel like he does pretty well, he got 9/10 on his first test, 8/10 on the second, 10/10 on the third...and then he's taking this test today. I was wrong in my initial post, today is his forth test, not his third.

We study our butts off though, and he has a crazy good memory. But this is DEFINITELY memorizing, there are too many crazy rules in our language to even begin to explain why some of these are spelled the way they are. Whistle and thumb both have silent letters -- which he has acknowledged doesn't make any sense.
