Holy moley!! Surprised myself completely - 11 out of 12. I would have ventured a guess up front that I'd have messed up royally given that a lot of it was going to be politically connected.......things to which I don't pay much attention.

I was kind of surprised I also got 12 out of 12 since I didn't think I paid enough attention to what's going on around me. Even decided to subscribe to Time magazine. Maybe I'll save the 20 bucks.

11/12 not bad but it wasn't too tough.

Oops!

Only 9 of 1. :sad:

Still, "better than 86% of the people"

Now, I wish I knew which ones were wrong!?

Steve - There was a link to click on the left side of that screen that would take you to the details of each question.

12 -- kinda sad that Americans know so little about current events. These were not trick questions nor particularly difficult. It's no wonder things are such mess politically -- how can people vote even semi-intelligently when they don't know what's happening around them? Okay, off my rant and soapbox.

6

Upon reading the answers in the finals, I was shocked that I only got 6 and so I backspaced to the Q&A's and checked each one only to find that my answers did not register correctly. You may want to check to see the validity of the testing results. Pleased that it wasn't a test of any value other than my own curiosity. I actually got 9 correct and they only gave me credit for 6 correct. GRRRRR

Suppose if your test was all correct, no sense in comparing, huh? '-)

The answers it said I gave were exactly the ones I had given (and all 12 were listed as correct). I "backspaced" and every question had what I had selected. Maybe there's a problem with some web browsers?

I backspaced the actual test pages to see what I had chosen and found the inconsistencies in what was marked wrong when actually is was correct. Obviously was a glitch somewhere.
