"Darnit, I thought the two major political parties were the American and the Bull Moose party", said hopefully no one taking this test.

(58,709 posts)I wonder how many missed the "Who lived here before Europeans came" question by answering "no one?"

Of course I passed. I missed one about the longest river.

(24,046 posts)Reasonably good memory and a couple of educated guesses.
I wonder if there are rotating tests? Some of the questions mentioned above were not in the one I took when I clicked on the sample. Nothing about the longest river, the Constitution date, or who lived here first.
I almost decided t stop taking the test when I got to questions 6&7 - they asked who was POTUS and VPOTUS, and I really, really, REALLY didn't want to click on Trump and Pence.

(25,555 posts)I don't think many high school graduates could pass this.....
I couldn't have.......seriously.......
Now that I'm a political junkie, yeah, but back then I only knew the basics.

(24,046 posts)I did 5 of them, and decided that was enough. Some questions are in every test, and others take turns.
