I'm positive something like this is much easier for someone who's just out of high school or college. Alexis de Tocqueville just doesn't come up all that often in the real world.

The site said that they surveyed incoming college freshmen and the average was a 53%. I got a good score because I took AP History and AP Gov't and I'm a nerd about history/economics/philosophy in general. I was not taught the answers to quite a few of those questions in high school.

only a college professor or very intelligent person could score 100% on that though. that test is not easy.

58/60

there are some definite biases in the test though. I'd imagine it was written by a faintly libertarian/republican person or organization. I felt that both the phrasing and content of the econ portion and its prominence (compared to say cultural stuff) shows through.
