Old Scatterbrain Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Embarrassed to say I only scored 40 (actually 38 but I fat-fingered two questions),but on the supposedly harder follow-up test I scored a 47. Most of the ones I missed on the first test were in the vein of "what article/clause says such and such?" I guess I know WHAT it says, just not WHERE it says it.

Yep, narrow it down, take your best guess of the two. Which is almost always wrong. At least for me. And if I second guess myself, I was right the first time.

Harvey Mushman Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Got a 40 - also WHIZ KID - but I'll admit that although I know what the ammendments are or mean, I was lucky on guessing which NUMBER several were in the twenties (process of elimination).

Bama Red Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Guessed bout 7-8 of them cause I didn't want to spend time trying to remember my constitutional law classes and cases. That is what took my score down. Least ways, that's my story and I'm sticking with it! BTW, I got a 35 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I got a 44 also. WOuld have been higher but I made three bad guesses where I had 2 that I thought it was. I really dislike the question which amendment or what article does what. Missed a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Sort of humbling, isn't it?Although, I don't really see a whole lot of value in knowing Article, Section, and Clause on everything in the Constitution. So making a wrong guess on the section doesn't strike me as really "wrong" on "not knowing the Constitution."Article...yeah that we should know. But the section and clause are just showing off. It isn't all that hard to read through one Article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Maybe I'll read the constitution before taking the quiz! Kind of like cramming for the SATs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't all that hard to read through one Article. +1, on both counts. A better test would have been more focused on the content. Seems to have been oriented to those who were already pretty conversant with the content, and more focused on the exact "source", or reference location. Sounds like a rote course exam rather than a civics knowledge/context/understanding test. Even so, I would bet the numbers from our members here are WELL (at least 3 times) above a broad national average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm only at question 14, but I am curious about what the population of four cities has to do with the Constitution. I got it right - I just don't see what it has to do with my knowledge of the Constitution. Of course, I also don't see what the age of the framers has to do with it, either. Is this a test on the Constitution, or on American History? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
