Civics Quiz

On Monday I was at my parents' house looking through the Sunday paper. I came across the USA Today Weekend magazine and saw an article about how poorly American college students did on a civics test. Shockingly, no school averaged higher than a D+. Harvard scored the highest with a 69.56%. There was a website to visit to take the 60 question test to see how you fared. Well. I'm sad to say that I only scored a 60%. I got only 36 questions right. So, click here and take the test yourself. Then, post your score in the comments (you can't do much worse than I did!). I'm curious how everyone does.

  1. That was HARD! I got 39 correct. That gave me a 65%. At least I know that I'm just as smart as the kids at Harvard.

  2. Oh, man... I got a 5o%. I felt like I was guessing on half of them and by time I got to questions 32 I had to look to the end to see how many more questions there were so I think I may have lost interest at that point. Ugh!

  3. Um, I feel really stoopid. :( Political Science was my major and we studied most of that stuff and I only got 44 correct. :( I think it's time for me to re-educate!
