Only missed 3. And they were only in the last few, which were, in my opinion, more opinion questions.

For instance: Free markets typically secure more economic prosperity than government’s centralized planning because:

I destroyed the history type questions.

For me as well. I definitely agree that some of the questions toward the end were based on opinion rather than fact. I did struggle with a few of the less widely known history questions but ended up narrowing them down. Fun quiz.

Having read a few threads in P&N, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people missed #30, which is a pretty basic macroeconomics question.

Eh, yeah, while I would agree that most basic macro econ books have the answer to that one, there is still major contention on the answer. There's definitely different, valid, points of view.

I'm sure I learned most of this stuff at some point and don't remember it any more. I got lucky with the economics stuff at the end, I was guessing on half of them.
 
It's an okay quiz until it gets to the econ questions when it devolves into capitalist/free trade drivel. Anyway 32/33 correct. I knew the answer they wanted on tree trade but it was so full of shit I couldn't bring myself to click that answer. Once again, an organization trying falsely to equate constitutional governance with free market capitalism.

The 3 I missed, I second guessed and changed my answer. On one of them, I still would've been wrong had I kept the first 🙂 Not too bad, though.

Uhhh, you don't have to be a history buff to get some of those. All you have to have done is gone to school through 10th or 11th grade & not be an idiot. Seriously, you missed #6 & you're a US citizen?! That's pretty sad.

Who is the underlying sponsor of this group? Some of the questions seem to have a conservative bend. Just an observation.

I don't have everything fucking memorized to the letter. >_>
 
Don't worry, he's probably just like the average American anyway.

Although I admit I would've gotten many more wrong had I not taken APUSH this year. Like the Lincoln-Douglas debates, I only know about those because I had a formal writing on it.
