Not too shabby for a bunch of on-line nerds
Two of the four I missed were due to simple carelessness on my part the other two I just plain blew!
Heck, I’ve been out of high school since ‘73
Guess I’m just an old fart
That was my 17 year old's score..... mine was 1 lower, 54 out of 60. Seems I am weakest in modern economics and she was weakest in governmental matters, but as she said "give me a break, I'm in government now!"
Hard questions, especially at the end!
I guess I should not have used my economic text book as a sleep aid.
Don’t brag, just because you took the eighth grade three times!
Econ 101 I think.
Wrong on 19,36,43,58
Love history, voracious reader of history, have MBA
Ironically, was not a very good undergrad but superlative grad student....I grew up!
German sociologist, economist, author of “The Protestant Ethic.”
I was 53/60.
80%...not too bad for sitting in meetings all day! I was in college long enough ago to have forgotten the rule that you go with your first instinct when in doubt. I missed all five that I changed.
You got me by 9. Old fart. :^)
I’ve been out of school for many years, but that is no excuse. I scored 60%

Strong statistical relevance that Freepers know their history relative to college students
Same score, doing the same thing. You’d better stay out of my head tonight.....
