“2 out of 33”??

Unless I missed something, your link goes to a ‘quiz’ of only 10 relatively easy questions...

The link leads to a 10 question test. That said, 100%. No applause is necessary. [slight bow]

I got 10 out of 10 and frankly I did not find it that difficult. The most difficult question was the one about the Supreme Court Case establishing judicial review (Marbury vs. Madison). Other than that, mostly pretty easy for freeper types. For young students with heads full of mush being taught by socialist professors, extremely difficult.

9 out of 10 here, pretty easy all things considered, just got brain lock on the Gettysburg address.

My guess would be:

Average Freeper - 95%

Average American - 15%

I didn’t find 33 questions. I had only 10 questions. I missed on federalism, but really it was an easy test.

9/10 - the one about the Anti-federalists. Though the correct answer was my second choice (feels humbled for not acing it...)

“college professors average about 55%. I find that odd.”

Yes, I do too. I am a college professor, and had little difficulty scoring 9/10, must admit, I did miss the question about Marbury vs. Madison as the basis of judicial review, but I’m a writing professor, not a historian.

Oh, that’s right, all college professors are hippie-dippie, PC, liberals, who would know nothing about anything practical like government? I think even my liberal colleagues would sometimes surprise people. disagree with their conclusions but respect their knowledge and research.

Sorry this is a hot button for me working in education. One tires after a while of seeing their profession demonized so regularly.

Well, I feel like a failure! I wish there were 33 since that might have made my odds better.....

These are the questions I got wrong.... Oui vay!
Question: The power of judicial review was established in:

Question: What was the source of the phrase “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”?

Question: The Federalist Papers was written to:

I will not give my answers though, just in case someone else wishes to take it.

I would like a link to the 33 question civics test though. I need to brush up!

Well I goofed big time. Try this.

There should be 33 questions based on the larger 2008 test.

Sorry!

9/10 - 90%

I was surprised when a score appeared after 10 questions.
