Well, I guess that's pretty good but I thought I could ace it since I did well in Civics and American History in school. I guess I need to hit the books again.....

It would not surprise me if the majority of Worthy members do more than just better than our officials, but actually pass. We have a smart group. It is concerning that we know civics better than those we have put into office. I wish the article gave more information as to how many officials and what positions they held.

Hey, you did better than I did! Now think about the 44% score for those elected officials and how really sorry that is. I wish I knew who they were too. They don't need power if they don't understand the country and how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband scored 100% and called the test easy, but Mr. Smartypants has a degree in history, works with lobbyists, and pays very close attention to politics and current events. After all he has taught me about Reformers, there was no way I was going to admit I missed the Puritain question. Shh... don't tell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
