It's for your benefit only! Break out your "Thinking Cap"! I got an 85.84 % without trying to look anything up. test I took that after I read the article that said most govt officials score about 40%. I scored 88% and was not happy.
DC Tom Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I missed the Lincoln-Douglas debates. That's it. I don't understand how anyone could score lower than 80% on that. Even elliot should manage at least that much.
Kevbeau Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 78.79% Didn't read the one question correctly and the Socrates, Plato question threw me.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Nice 100% I win. I'd like to thank my AP government, economics, and US history teachers from high school.

KD in CA Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I took this a few weeks ago when this story first broke...88% IIRC. But I was confused when 'healthcare' was not listed in the first question as an inalienable right.
