Found this on hotmail and had a try. I'm quite proud that I had 9 out of 11 correct; not bad for a foreigner, is it?

I did get all 11, but I would be ashamed not to--geography was still a required subject when I was in elementary and junior high school.

Of course, a lot what I learned is now obsolete. (For example, that Bonn was the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.)

9 of 11 is indeed excellent for somebody living on the other side of the Atlantic. If you gave me a quiz on the capitals of the Germany's (15? 16?) Laender, I doubt I would get more than a few correct, even in multiple choice format as was this test.

Well I got 9 out of 11 which I considered pretty good for me!! I too grew up in the city and geography was required. Went to school in the good old bronx! I missed Wyoming and New Mexico but got the others...

I got 6 out of 11...but i seriously wavered over my decision to choose fargo over bismark..the rest i just blew altogether. I think i will ace the makeup test though. 😀

 

[TKpervert]

I got 10/11, not bad for a re-tard.
I screwed up on N. Dakota.

Almost...

You've clearly been studying all about the United States. You got 10/11 correct.

Sigh...Alabama got me. Dammit, back to school for me! Q

**OH YOU DID NOT** !!!!

*grumble*whine*groan*grumble*

Rumor has it there's an 8th grade math test available on that site too, but I refuse to even try it.

2+2 equals whatever I say it does depending on my mood.

 

[4Pawz]

lol I did, had to do a geography test every grade from 3rd to 12th, I can't forget them if I wanted to! LOL I know all the capitals of the latin countries too!

I think I can do all fifty states. I can also name the capitals in many of the countries in the world too.

 

[mykal]

Woo Hoo! I matched Pawz! 11/11

The way the questions were worded saved my behind for Tennessee, Oregon and New Mexico.

 

[venray]

11/11

Funny, the things they grill into you in grade school...and what sticks and what doesn't.

On the flip side, I haven't seen 1/2 of this country...I feel like I've seen more of Europe. Strange how you don't tend to investigate your own backyard...
