I scored a 78.79%. I guess that's not to bad. Couple that I missed, I thought that several answers in the question might be right, so I picked what I thought was the best one. Guess I better go back to school. gypsyman

I agree with you about the Puritan question. I think technically they were not missionaries. But they were fleeing persecution from the Church of England. It seemed there were two answers to that one when I read them. But they must have tricked me into giving a half true answer. I should have gone for the no brainer answer.......What was I thinking!

I only got a 69.70%. It appeared that there were some tricky worded questions with some trick answers like the Puritan one.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!   ;D

No cheating here, except maybe if you consider studying Government and Economics in depth in order to be able to properly teach it to my children cheating!  ;)

Way to go Heather. As long as you can stay ahead of your children, they'll be afraid of doing any wrong cause they'll think you must have eyes in the back of your head.   At least that's what my Mom always told me when I'd ask -  "How'd you know that ?"
