82%,not good. I’m a technical guy, engineering school, haven’t had a history course since high school back in 1963. What I know of these questions is just what I have heard by hanging around on street corners.

Why does this suprise anyone, college is the indoctrination center for the socialist liberal fiends and thier warped idiology of America the terrible!
Not surprised by the college results though. Spend their days learning about diversity.
Got 85 percent. I have degrees in English, Mass Communications, Chemistry, and Computer Science.
71%. The questions were much harder than the samples provided in the essay.
How come they didn't test Hillsdale students?
But the question show the defense that colleges are about more conceptual less factual stuff, is nonsense. Easily a third of the questions are conceptual (major result of the Fed buying more government bonds e.g.) and require actual knowledge of how the social world functions.
Hyper-PC opinionated drivel, on the other hand, will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks if you also have $3.
The scores are simply dreadful. The questions are easy, and any college graduate should be able to ace this.
Ok, so I didn’t know when the ladies got the vote. Sheesh. If they’re gonna test on trivia like that, what’s the point?

Not too shabby for a bunch of on-line nerds
That was my 17 year old's score..... mine was 1 lower, 54 out of 60. Seems I am weakest in modern economics and she was weakest in governmental matters, but as she said "give me a break, I'm in government now!"
Hard questions, especially at the end!
I guess I should not have used my economic text book as a sleep aid.
Wrong on 19,36,43,58
Love history, voracious reader of history, have MBA
Ironically, was not a very good undergrad but superlative grad student....I grew up!
I was 53/60.
80%...not too bad for sitting in meetings all day! I was in college long enough ago to have forgotten the rule that you go with your first instinct when in doubt. I missed all five that I changed.
I’ve been out of school for many years, but that is no excuse. I scored 60%
