Civics quiz

[womzilla]

Here's a surprisingly tough quiz about American history, governance, and economic theory which was designed to test the knowledge of high school college seniors. Sixty questions.

By "surprisingly tough", I mean, "there are actually questions on it which I wouldn't expect a high school student to be able to answer"--for instance, questions about Federal Reserve policies, the Federalist Papers, and public good theory. I got a 95%.

Correction from dhole. I would expect a college senior to know almost all of this.

A few of the purely economic questions defeated me, and I got 95%. Most of the actual civics stuff was darned easy by my standards, and I could have answered them just as accurately, but with even more confidence, when I was in high school.
