I wouldn't be surprised if most readers here can beat the 55% mark – I got 93.94 % myself, missing two questions.
I got an 85% without finishing college, so I don't understand why a college educator only averaged 55%.
Fumbled at the goal line. Missed the last one! 32 out of 33. I'd be ashamed of my kid's high school home room teacher if she only got a 55, let alone a college prof.
Yes, I am sure most reader's here would get a much higher than average score. I got a 96.96% missing only the Puritan question.
Just took the test…same score as you….missed 2 questions only.
I got 73% and didn't even go to college.
I missed the same one re: Government expenditures = Tax Revenues. I forgot to allow for the possibility of government borrowing money even in that eventuality.
I have several college credits, but nowhere close to a degree. Of course I learned most of this in high school, back in the late 60's.
28 out of 33; 84.85 %; and I'm Australian!
