American Civic Literacy Quiz. Alas, no American university averaged better than a D+ on it, and the overall U.S.-wide average was a pathetic 54%. In some universities, students did better as freshmen than as seniors, which is REALLY scary ( Read more... )

Well, I only scored 73.33%. I found myself guessing on a quite a few of them.

The economics questions just went right over my head, since I'm a total dunce when it comes to economics.

I had to take two quarters-worth of Econ for the MBA and I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

You did better than the average college student, anyway...

I got 80%, but I have to admit that a couple of the American History and constitution ones were actually lucky guesses.

It's REALLY sad when someone who's not even American does better than most American college students on a quiz about American history.

I mean - good for you, and all. But now I'm unutterably depressed.

You answered 46 out of 60 correctly - 76.67 %
Average score for this quiz during September: 74.1%
Average score since September 18, 2007: 74.1%

I guess that makes me pretty average. To be honest, though, I've always been weak on economics. Probably because as a subject, it's always bored the crap out of me.
