The Full Civic Literacy Exam. There are 33 questions, average score is 49%. Average score among college educators is 55%.

I scored a 57.58%, 19 out of 33. Guess who needs to take a Civics class. :couch

See how you do and post up your score. :biggrin:

It only took me about 10-15 minutes.

Pretty embarrassing that the average score for ADULTS is only 49%. Kind of scary actually.

Was hoping for a math test seeing how our government still can't figure out numbers.

EDIT: Can't believe the Declaration actually says pursuit of happiness.

Lame sauce. I missed a bunch of the history ones but answered the policy and such correct.

I can see it. This is all the crap the majority of people could care less about. I know as one of many, this is all the crap I just cram memorized an hour before tests so I could do good, then never went back to look at it ever again.

That's just it though, it's not crap.

If anything, this should be regarded as the most important stuff taught in school. It's the foundation of our country, as cliche as it sounds.

Another stone laid on our short path to socialism....

Yep.

Too many people have NO CLUE how good they have it in America.

Unless you understand how we got here, you're ill-equipped to help make sure we STAY here.

True... but sadly that's just not the era we live in anymore. All we care about is the path laid out that got us our new iPad.

Got a few wrong! In hindsight, four of the seven I got wrong I should have gotten them right (obvious V8 moments) ... the other three I was clueless about.

I do not like the way a couple of the questions were phrased.

Nicoclub apparently only attracts the smartest of the smart.

I consider myself fairly intelligent and only managed a 66.67%. Its been too long since I studied any of that.

What scares me most is the stat sheet they give you after the quiz. Our elected officials are WEE TODD DID!
