RE: US Civics test for voters day


Seeing that this is voters day here in the US, let's see how you do on this test ....

24 out of 30 is considered a passing grade.

Supposedly, 96%

of all High School Seniors FAILED this test...AND 50+% of all individuals over 50 did too!!

I made it with the skin of my teeth with a final score of 24.

I got 22, and I'm ENGLISH for cryin' out loud.
And I'm damn sure that if I HAD studied the American system,I would have known the Legislative and Constitution ones!

Interesting. I blew the TX president and two of the amendment questions. I hope these high school students got to study before the test.

 

[Willy]

28. I blew one question about amendments that were never ratified and another about one of the early Vice Presidents. The sad part is that I knew the right answers, but second guessed myself.

Good thing I did well. I just got home from voting.

 

[Henry]

i cannot figure out why i cannot vote
no mention of harold Wilson or Lord Mayor of London
i believe it was fixed

I only scored 22. The amendment questions caught me as I have never found it important to remember which number is on the concept.

I did vote today.

 

[Bushpounder]

28. But I'm 53 years old. When I went to school, they actually taught this stuff! LOL!

I would not be allowed in...

I thought there were 50 states, senators, and stripes.

But I do know when the Magna Carta was issued...

 

[TeaSea]

29, Couldn't remember how many amendments were proposed and not ratified.

 

[huub vink]

I got 22 right, but compared with Henry I'm just the better gambler

Cheers,
