Has anyone using Firefox taken this quiz?
The automatic scorer said that I “missed (failed to answer?) a few questions.”
...all of ‘em.
GRRRRRRRRRR...

Ashamed to say I only got 52/60...but, in my defense, most of those missed were on economics which still causes me to nod off, even 30 years after grad school. John Locke did sneak one by me though.

I’m using Firefox and it worked fine for me. Do you have scripting and java enabled? Cookies?

Well, I had a 75.4% and I’m a total History Geek who goes nowhere without her Pocket Constitution, LOL!
That test was a tad skewed. And very sneaky...

I got a 75. If I had taken it about three years ago I would have scored same as the average college student.
Between things I read on FR and books recommended by FReepers I’ve learned a lot!
Thank you Free Republic!

Let me add that a couple of years ago, briefly contemplating a career change, I took the California test to determine if I was qualified to teach high school history, econ, and poli sci. It took hours, but I passed with flying colors. That test wasn’t nearly as hard as this test just was, all of which says more about the qualifications to teach high school history than anything else.
To: Diana in Wisconsin
I got an 80%. I missed 12 and I am a bit ashamed.

You got the score I got. I stupidly marked one wrong, but I can live with that. Of course if college hadn’t been so many years ago...

#53 was pretty nebulous.
Answer could have just as easily been A

I got a 70. Not too bad considering I sort of breezed through it and never went to college. Can I get college credits for this?
I did think I’d do better though :(,
