How well do you know your civics?

For those interested in testing their knowledge, here's a good civics test:

Hmmm.  I scored an 85 - a solid B.  Apparently I wasn't asleep all the time in class.  But I did miss most of the economic questions.  I never was good at that stuff.

I missed most of the economic questions, too.  But I was suprised to earn a 90 overall.  I should admit, though, that I am very good at guessing.

I only scored a 77. I used to be smart.

Where were the questions about football and SpongeBob SquarePants?

that's an 85 civic wagon...

what do i win?

[USRufnex]

Guess that makes me a 78 country squire... which is a high C (pretty good for an opera singer)... but I'm convinced it's a solid B when grading on a curve...



...and yes, PM, that was me who guessed "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" at Uncle Zeb's Cartoon Camp.  []

92%  (91.66667 actually).  Too many of those I was like, huh - I know I read this at some point.  

I missed the founding of Jamestown.  The republik (which was a DUH when I looked back over them), when the federalist papers were written, one of the philosopher questions - get normal names people, and the just-war theory (which I had never heard of).  

On the plus side, we are all way smarter than a HARVARD or other Ivy seniors:
