Same here - 78.79 should have gotten at least 4 of the 7 I missed. I find it very hard to beleive the 55% reported success rate of professors. Must be all phys ed professors.

29 of 33 88% Deciding not to become a college prof seems to have paid off.

Well, it feels good to get an "A".

It means I got 3 or less incorrect, as did .08% of all respondents.

OMG, I must have won the lottery.

I've graduated from the 99% !!!

3/33 = 90.9%

B+ in my HS

You were in the 99 Percentile group who got 90.9% or more correct.



(But, much better than all except the top .9% of the test takers - including me)

Got 33 of 35, or 93.94 percent. It was a fun test. Was hoping to not miss any because civics is my strong suit.

Here we're the two I missed:

Question: International trade and specialization most often lead to which of the following?

Oh well. As they say, you can't win me all.

84%. Guess that's not bad for a retired professor.
