"You answered 49 out of 60 correctly — 81.67 %"
Not too bad.
I missed a few that I should have known upon review of the answers.
The site is pretty interesting too.
Makes me glad I teach my kids this stuff on my own as I assume their schools are going to mess it all up.

I got 34 out of 60 - 56.67%.
Guess I wouldn't make a very good American.

Hah! Better than the pesky Harvard types... I would suspect that LM would object to some of those questions on philosophical grounds.

Not bad for someone who doesn't even live in the US... and I think that's about the same as the Harvard Seniors...

Yep, a fraction lower actually. Damn, thought I'd be better than them...

One question I read as Andrew Jackson instead of Andrew Johnson. As for the others, like the President, I got a B in Econ 101.

37/60. I had absolutely no idea about most of them, so a lot of those were lucky guesses.

I got *all* the Econ questions right, but I have apparently mad-libbed some of my history info together, with disastrous results.

I would have had a higher score if I had not talked myself out of some correct answers. But still it would not have been stellar.
