13. A Zac guest starred on , in 2003, as an injured teen named Bobby Neville.
14. A With such hits as Get’cha Head in the Game, and duets like Start of Something New and What I’ve Been Looking For, Simon Cowell couldn’t help but offer Zac a record deal. But, Zac declined saying, “Acting is my main priority.”

Mostly A’s: Celebrity trivia super-star, it’s scary how much you know about Zac Efron. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have a whole library of celebrity rags and teenie bopper mags. Keep up the good work.
Mostly B’s: You were a hit and miss on this one. You got a few right, but need to brush up on your knowledge of Zac Efron. I would suggest a strict daily regiment, including regular doses of ET and People.
Mostly C’s: Not a single one right. You know as much about Zac Efron as I know about changing a tire, not a clue. Study up and rent High School Musical this weekend. Go on, channel your inner teenybopper nerd.
Mostly D’s: Ding, ding, ding. You got one correct. Not awful, but not great. Be sure to head to ellecanada.com’s celebrity tab and read every single article. That should help in your pursuit to become pop-culture savvy.
