Curious...
I had a go at this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/quiz/2009/mar/27/gcse-science-quiz
mainly out of curiosity, as it is many years since I did my O'levels. I'm not a scientist at all and I haven't studied science since I was 15. I found that when it came to these questions, mostly I was answering based on what seemed most likely to me, rather than based on knowing the answer. I was expecting to do badly.
I scored 7/8.
I'm not sure what that says about me. Radio 4 listener, maybe?

no subject
I can only assume that this reflects the fact that I've spent many years listening to Radio 4 and reading New Scientist ... except that this didn't feel that 'scientific' to me. Judgements rather than certainties.
