How well do you do on this 33-question Civics Quiz (http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx)?

More than 2,500 randomly selected Americans took ISI’s basic 33-question test on civic literacy and more than 1,700 people failed, with the average score 49 percent, or an “F.” Elected officials scored even lower than the general public with an average score of 44 percent and only 0.8 percent (or 21) of all surveyed earned an “A.” College educators scored an average of 55%

We're doing great so far, class!

Some of the questions/answers were worded oddly, I thought. Could have been a better quiz.

Lol... This was just posted yesterday. I earned 29 (30, really... I answered the last question as "Government doesn't help anyone" out of spite).

You answered 26 out of 33 correctly — 78.79 %

I accidentally selected the wrong answer on two of the questions, so in reality I knew 28 of the 33.

I should have done better though.
