There is no specific listing of questions you personally missed, but there is a link to an answer key and you can see all the questions and their correct answers.
That fulcrum one messed me up too, and I guessed igneous rock, not metamorphic.
I had a reasonably good science education via the Philadelphia public school system, but most of the science knowledge I've retained was self-taught (and therefore a bit of a patchwork).
Actually, upon examining the answer key, I missed only one question. I thought I missed the first question because I didn't see the bar move, but I actually got it correct. The one I missed was "____ are hurtling through space and not captured in Earth's atmosphere"-- I knew it wasn't "meteorite" (those land) but I didn't know if it was "meteor" or "meteoroid".
Some of the questions were pretty tricky. The fruit one, for instance. A fruit contains an already-fertilized seed, and the fruit's primary purpose is to protect that seed. The fruit is also useful for dispersal; for example, a bird might eat it and later defecate the seed (which survives the passage through the digestive tract) to germinate far from the original plant. Insects are too small to help with that process. (Insects do help with pollination earlier, to help cause fertilization, but by the time the seed embryo is formed, their work is done.)

stupid fruit

2) If they asked me "Which is the physical change", I would have got that too.
