I'm interested to see how people would do on this test. I took it and will post my results if others take the test.

I took the test. I did badly so I got cranky. The first three of the questions I missed I was able to find my answers right and their's wrong. I wouldn't consider it very trustworthy and measuring knowledge. It's also very economics heavy and I wouldn't consider it very valid for measure civics literacy. It's also very heavy on wars but that's typical for history books.

What questions did you find their answers wrong on? Can you let me know your sources?

Thanks

Dana

You answered 25 out of 60 correctly - 41.67 % ( I dont actually consider this terrible considering that I never took American History)And I dont vote based on my lack of knowledge of these very issues and histories.

Bleh, can't say I'm surprised.

You answered 48 out of 60 correctly - 80.00 %
Average score for this quiz during October: 69.5%
Average score since September 18, 2007: 69.5%

You can take the quiz as often as you like, however, your score will only count once toward the monthly average.

I lost the page where it tells what I got right and wrong, but I do remember the Jamestowne one being one of them... I'll call it OK, though. ;)
