I got around the average which is 21 out of 30. not bad for a Canadian. To my American friends, try it and see how well you do.

I only got a 23... at least I passed. I did not know much about the part on the Amendments.

yeah, that is in part what screwed me up. Also I not know that there were not terms limits for senators and I also mistakenly said that only one president had been impreached. I forgot about Andrew Jackson when I took the quiz.

still, I ended up average, according to people, both American and Canadian who took the quiz.

on the website, there were also quizes about the compostion of the US supreme court and on US presidents but I decided that they were too difficult for me.

I figured that they altered the test a bit since they asked my age and where I lived. Chances are some states in the US have more difficult tests.

I do not know much about the supreme court.

no, you got the same test that I did. the demographic info. was so that they could get averages by state and by age-group
