I scored 90.91% (30 of 33 correct)

I got 31 out of 33, not bad for a product of the public school system who was a teenager not very long ago. (I paid attention in school, studied, and did all the readings plus a lot on my own.)

Screw you guys. Truth is, you both were the teacher's pet. I missed 4.

I missed 5 and had a score of about 85% -- a middling B. I am ashamed to admit that I got the question about the bill of rights wrong: I said the Bill of Rights prohibits owndership of guns by private individuals!

NOT!!!!! Just joking! Come to think of it, though, that would qualify me for being a US Supreme Court justice in the minds of the Democrat base.

You answered 32 out of 33 correctly — 96.97 %

Incorrect Answers

• Question: If taxes equal government spending, then: Your Answer: government debt is zero Correct Answer: tax per person equals government spending per person on average

Stupid... for some reason my mind said "government deficit is zero." And, I miss a 100% on the LAST STUPID QUESTION.

I must differ with you on this one. You at the bottom of the B scale not in the middle accoring to my kids school. 85 is a B while 84 is a C.

It actually was that way for me in my first high school I went to as well. Believe it or not, I made the Dean's list every semester and actually battled for the top spot of my class. My parents were so proud of me until I got kicked out and went back to public school. Then my grades slipped. Even on their very forgiving grading system. Ooops, oh well.

OK...OK I am the class dunce...I only got 27 right. Seeing how I am at advanced age and years from going to school I was glad I got some of the ones I did.

Excuses, Excuses! My husband is older than I am. I think I'll ask him to take it when he gets home. I'm smarter than he is, but he knows more than I do.

And I wasn't always teacher's pet. A few of my teachers really didn't like having me because they had to put in extra effort assigning me extra work. (They didn't like it but they went along with it because they were afraid of my mother.)
