This is a different one than the one we had a while back. I like this one better cause I scored better.

How Well Do You Know Your States?

My results:





Not perfect. But not really all that bad considering its been a very long time since I studied any geography. As usual, it was all those darned clustered up Eastern states that threw me off.

OK. Had to take it again just to see if I could do better.

Much better. Of course, I think it helps depending on what states you get to place first and all. Makes the placements of the harder states easier.




So, I guess my grade goes from about a C+ to about an A-. That is, if grades are still awarded the way they were when I was in school.

Thanks to the first quiz you posted months ago, I did pretty well...88% the first time. I do think we should get some sort of credit for being in the neighborhood. LOL!

I got a 92% but it was purely luck. It's really hard in the first few to place the states in the correct place. The first state I has was Kentucky and I know where it is sorta, but to place it exactly correctly on the map is hard! Then I had some state like Idaho or something and I don't even think people in Idaho know where it is!

I remember a couple years ago when I was teaching SAT prep to some high school kids and they were doing state capitol stuff....sheesh! I don't know any of this stuff.

Well, I got 74% which I don't think is too awful considering I didn't see the actual NAME of the state till half way through, I was just guessing my the shape! LOL

Hehe
score
I got really lucky in that it gave me mainly outside states first like Michigan and Minnesota, then Georgia... Also gave me Alabama before Tenessee, etc...

Went mostly by the borders on them. :-)
