I scored the same... I didn't think I'd do that well. US History /
Civics wasn't my favorite subject.

Cut it out. You guys are raising the average score. Mine doesn't look so
good anymore.


Not to worry. Ever the underachiever, I managed to bring the curve down.
23/33 = 69.7%. I'm such a slug.

Yabut, you're still too smart to run for Congress.

That is true on so many levels.

30 out of 32, but I have several objections to two of the questions.

In particular the one about the First Admendment (due process is a
protection of the First Admendment and found so by the Supreme
Court) and the item about taxation. Both of their correct answers
are not wrong, but they have a secondary correct answer also.

Our local high school for several years won or placed high in the national
civics Contest. Skip Mohatt was the teacher. Was an amazing run for a
public school vs. private school.
http://bulk.resource.org/gpo.gov/rec...996_E00672.pdf
Unfortunately he passed away this weekend from pneumonia as a complication
from a fall. He had Polio as a child and probably added an extra factor.
He was a giant among teachers. A reason to pay the good ones more, merit
pay. He inspired the kids. One of them has gotten a masters in
international business and foreign relations and works for the State
Department. A kid who might have just gone along working the ramp crew for
an airline. What he did to pay for college.

Two of them were completely bogus - two correct answers in the same
question. The one about the First Admendment (correct answer includes
due process) and the taxation question which is totally FUBAR - taxes
equals government spending also means zero debt and growth.

30 out of thirty two and IN FACT, I nailed it.
