I took a sample one online about a year ago and didn't do too well. Can't remember if I passed or not, just that I was very, very unimpressed with myself. I thought I had a pretty firm grasp on US History, took several classes in college (20 years ago) and have always enjoyed history documentaries.
The dates are what killed me. A quick review beforehand would have helped immensely.

Burned by Buzzfeed quizzes, again!
