Hey thanks! Now, I'm not American, so I thought getting 67% was okay. But given the number of things I got wrong, I was alarmed to find that was the average score at even the better U.S. colleges. ... also, gosh, I need to read up on my pre-20th-century American history...
39 of 60. 65% And I passed the US American History AP test with plenty of room to spare in 1991.
But this test represented everything I always hated about history classes - rote memorization of names, dates, docs, and definitions. Ask me questions about social and cultural implications of historical movements and events and my showing goes way up.
