Current Events Quiz

[Karen G]

Here's a quiz on current events from Pew Research. See how you compare to the rest of the nation. I got 12 right.

Those were waaaay too simple. And not all THAT current. Just one caused me to even vacillate between a couple of possibilities (#9). I got all 13.

Those were waaaay too simple.

The sad part is that only 8% of the public got all 13 right.

I got 13 right, but I'm a news junkie. So were my parents. Dad read the paper every morning before work, and we always watched the evening news.

How many of you can turn off the news for a week when you're on vacation? I find it really difficult.

 

[Patri]

I got 11. Should watch TV news more. Kind of embarrassing.

11 correct realized one error as soon as I entered it....Tuggers are pretty smart.

12/13 not too shabby I suppose

 

[pianodinosaur]

I got all 13 correct. I would think that the results are skewed in that the only people taking the test are those who follow the news. Most people would be hard pressed to name their congressman or senators.

Was on the easy side. Maybe we should give this as a test before people are allowed to vote. That would be illegal, of course.

12/13, missed an easy one that I always miss (the dem/rep thing, I never remember that one).

....Tuggers are pretty smart.
