    Not bad I think considering I have not studied the US political system or economics in any detail.


    I usually have enough trouble remembering stuff for the copiers

    Does this also make me qualified to teach in American colleges???

    I'm below average, but although I'm interested in the world around me, I'm not really into politics and civics was never one of my best subjects. So I did better than I thought. Maybe I should have done better, because I like history and a lot of the questions had to do with history.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

    I got 25 of 33 for 75.76% It is not that I got 8 wrong, it is on those 8 people and the government have not come around to my way of thinking.

    I don't consider myself any sort of expert in government or history, so my 67% is probably deserved. I was hoping I would do better though. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    I'll give you three bonus points for you reasoning which moves you up to about 85%-90%. I think you should run for office, good job.

    civic lesson

    I missed 5: One was just plain dumb, one I should have gotten, but went brain dead and question #27 I had to take issue with. Two others I didn't agree with entirely, but got right (according to the test suppliers.

    Interesting choice of questions. Some had nothing to do with American civics, so didn't understand why they were included.

    Got 100%, after 5 tries and using Google. Otherwise I got the lowest score posted so far. It's pretty bad when folks from other countries no more about the USA than I do. I guess I'll go sulk (or back to school).
