How well do you know American law?

[MorningGlory]

I did not do as well on this as I thought I would, scoring only 24 out of 30.......

Test: HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE USA?

Below is a link to a 30-question test to see how well you know US Law. Not exactly grade-school level. 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 we don't know.

I am over 50 but I did about the same as you did. I got 25 out of 30. I think some of the questions do not indicate any real knowledge about the US but most do. They are sort of trivia. Who was born in Texas?

I got 24 right.

The title of this post is a bit misleading. I think there is more about U.S. history, or maybe the same, as there is about law. I scored 28 out of 30. Had it been about law, I probably would have done worse. On one question I guessed, but got it right, On one I intentionally gave the wrong answer, becuase the correct answer was not provided, but I knew which one they thought was correct, and so got it right as well. By the time I finished the test, I felt I might have a 29 or 30. Of the two I got wrong, one I got wrong, becuase I answerd too quickly and was over confident, didn't think about it long enough. The other one I got wrong, because while I was not sure I was answering correctly, I went with my first instinct, because of the other choices, I had no clue, I just did not know the answer.

The test was fairly easy for me, partly because I am interested in the subject, and partly becuase of my age (60). Some of the questions, were about things that happend during my own lifetime, and during a persiod of my life, where I was politically aware. A person who is, let's say under 40, should not feel too bad about not knowing many of the answers, because things happened while you were young and not interested in such things, and were to recent of insignificant to be taught in History classes.

Thanks, that was fun!

Omega, when I clicked on the link I got a different test than you did. The test that came up for me was called "Independence" and focused on amendments, the branches of gov't, things like that.

[Oh Hamburgers!]

I love tests like this!

I only got 23/30... went a perfect 20 for 20 and then bombed when it came to all the questions about the ammendments & history of assassinated/impeached presidents.

[Bold Believer]

Some of the questions were ambiguous. Three Presidents were assassinated, Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy. Four (including Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy) were attempted, but Reagan survived.

One might also argue that Lincoln's death was not an assassination, but an act of war, as Booth may have been a Confederate operative.

I did pretty well, but not as good as I should have, 24/30.

The quiz seemingly had little to do with law.

I got 28 right.

As was the case with the survey on Bible knowledge, it appears the people at WB did better than most? They are a much more informed group of people. So far, everyone here that took the test passed it.

Right! I sent that to some other people and they totally bombed. I think you have to be interested in what goes on to actually remember these things.

Hey I got 18/30 , but what was I expecting?
