20/20. I assume there is a pool of questions, but the 20 I had were 7th grade level.


ETA - only one question took any thought -- the year the constitution was ratified. Had both 1787 (the right answer) and 1789 (the teaser) in the answer choices.

Thanks, Schoolhouse Rock ("In 1787, I'm told, our Founding Fathers all sat down...")

Not true. There are people from decent schools that can't pass it. A lot of college graduates probably couldn't pass it

Great journalism here.
Tells us 19% of test takers 45 and younger passed the test, but don't tell us what you had to get to pass.
is it 80%, 60%, 50%?

Regardless, if you can't get 80% your a dumbass, and yes i spelled it your on purpose for the dumbasses.

Could see the stupid arse agenda with some of the questions as well.

My test had no agenda. It was just basic US history and current politics

You may have gotten 20/20 but you fail for grammar.

I don't believe the average IQ in this country is near 100 any more.

So it wouldn't surprise me if this was true or not.

Yeah but that test is something that a 6th grade civics and history class should be able to ace.
