Americans Fail a Basic Test on Their History and Institutions

   

Are you more knowledgeable than the average citizen is? The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. Can you do better? Questions were drawn from past ISI surveys, as well as other nationally recognized exams.

I must admit having a BA in the BS of politics, I scored lower than I expected, but did better than many of our educators.  Can you take the test without cheating and then post your honest results here?

  

My results:

 

You answered 25 out of 33 correctly — 75.76 %

 

Average score for this quiz during November: 78.1%


Average score: 78.1%

As a disabled female veteran I used my VA benefits to obtain a BA in the bs of political science. I am compelled to help our new veterans recieve a comfortable, productive future they so rightly deserve.
