Here’s a fairly basic civics test. Take it and beat my score. I missed two out of 28. One of my wrong answers was purely a guess. On the other, I tripped myself up on semantics.
This came to me in an email from a friend. In the body of the email, it said:
Okay you red-blooded Americans; let’s see how you do on this test. All it is, is a history/civics test!
18 out of 30 (60 percent) is considered a passing score but nothing to brag about.
Supposedly, 96 percent of all High School Seniors FAILED this test… AND 50+ percent of all individuals over 50 did also!
Take the Civics Test.
We’d love to see your scores in the comments, but please don’t give away the answers!



27. You are clearly the victor.
25, but one I missed because I didn’t do it. I yield to my colleagues as civics geniuses, but I also note that I am a product of the Florida public school system.
28 Not bad for a California public school education
