In school now days, over 60% passes. I assume that is the standard that most politicians can't pass.
 Quoting: Epic Beard Guy

57% So, pretty close.

This is bearing in mind I don't know the details of the American history. I have no memory for those dates or names and stuff.

Some of the answers you can answer with a bit of common sense, but admittedly, the answers (questions?) are phrased pretty badly; for example, the flood question? What's a benefit. Their answer was the residents don't have to pay, but this is flawed; they do pay. Via taxes, so no advantage. So I was forced to choose because the insurance wouldn't cover it (which is extremely likely!).

The ones I couldn't honestly answer were ones that required technical knowledge (I haven't heard the Gettyburg's address, etc etc).

The Electorial College caught me by surprise, because I figure an 'elitism' institute electng a president is pretty undemocratic. Very much so. The College term is also a grand misnomer. If they don't study, why it a College?
