Beat Politicalprof . . . If You Can!

politicalprof:

Take the U.S. Civic Literacy Exam and Compete with Politicalprof!

The link takes you to a fairly tough multiple choice exam that tests an array of knowledge on politics, political history, and political economy in the US context. It’s worth a run through.

According to the site, “the average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%.”  I got 32 of 33 questions, or 97%, right. I  missed one technical political economy question. So see if you can beat me!

29 out of 33 I guess my political science classes paid off…now only if I can get a job in the field.
