This should be a test everyone should be required to pass in order to vote.

Here is a link to a 30-question test to see how well you know US Law. Give it a shot, and see how well you do! Supposedly 96 % of all High School Seniors FAILED this test, AND if that's not bad enough, 50% of all individuals over 50 did too! Take the test and be surprised at what you don't know.

I wasn't embarrased by any answers I got wrong, but I only got a 75%. Bet I'm smarter than a 5th grader.

I was not embarrassed by my 85% until my progeny racked up a 95%. Now THAT is embarrassing.

A couple of these are a bit tricky if one never studied government.

I am so embarrassed to have failed by one question.... If I had taken the time to read it through I should have done better.

My biggest problem was that many questions were not based on current events and were way before my timeline..... (grin)....

The one I missed that totally raised my personal ire against myself was The Star Spangled Banner. I saw the "oh say can you see" phrase, checked and moved forward.

Oh, sorry, its hard to tell online sometimes. I missed a pretty obvious one though, and I guessed on two of them, so there is that.

The biggie for me was about the national anthem. When I saw "oh say can", I went no further and clicked it knowing it was the beginning words. BIG TIME :oops: on my part.

As a gentle suggestion, watch the little faces. I gave you smiles and a thumbs up for your achievement. I still DO NOT LIKE YOU :lol: you smarty pants :thumbup:

Be well.

You know I guess I could have taken the test over it gives you that option and most surly would have done better.
But I was happy with my score due to the nature of some of those questions.
