Civics lesson

US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam said Thursday.

I got 33 of 33 questions right.

Take the test yourself

29/33, UK-born Canadian. Oddly, the ones I missed were all in the early part (6, 7, 8 and 11, I think?): not enough known about American history for a couple of bits.

Probably half a dozen, though, I got right because of test clumsiness (three answers sound pat, one sounds complex, DUH). Not a good test of much.
