[Mindy]

Woohoo! We suck!

 

[Dadu2004]

Ummm....Mindy.....you're a Canadian! I'm supposed to score way better than you! I suck! (you don't...I'm actually impressed)

 

[Mindy]

LOL, well thanks but keep in mind we learn lots about you Americans in our Canadian schools

Man and they expect people who barely speak English to pass this test! I personally think some questions could be changed/updated.

Also a Canadian here and I got 45%. If I had not second guessed myself, I would have got two more questions right.

You answered 95% of questions correctly. Here's your rating: What can I say? History was one of my favorite subjects in school and I took Government twice in highschool. I guess I obsorbed some of it the second go around.

I've also watched hours and hours of TV trivia.

I got 95%! I have no idea who Susan B Anthony is.


I've never seen this before and it's pretty cool. I got my two oldest to do it and they got 85% and 75%.

 

[HappyMomma]

Susan B Anthony was an activist for woman's sufferage.

Wowie! So... spill GW, which question did you get wrong???

 

[Good Wolf]

I got the members of the house wrong.

I'm going to post this on one of my fish forums that has a much younger crowd. I'm interested to see if they can do better than us straight out of highschool.

WHOO!!!!!! 50%!!!! and being a canadian, i think thats damn amazing i didn't fail!

 

[budnkota]

I don't even have to take this to know I'll fail. I completely ignored every civics lesson I ever had....

 

[Mindy]

LOL, and where on earth is 50% a passing mark? LOL

 

[budnkota]

60%. better than I expected though.
Notice it does say they selected some of the more difficult ones, however. So the actual test would not be full of those challenging questions.

Also - remember that the people taking the test have generally been a class focusing on this stuff for a while. It's not dropped on them out of the blue.
