8th grade U.S. History Texas exit test.

[saildog]

I got 47/48.

I missed number 22 and I know why. I debated between my answer and the correct answer. I picked incorrectly because the universe has determined that I can never get a 100 on a test and you know what?...I'm cool with that.

A disadvantage for the south was definitely lack of industries. The North had all of them and the south had to rely on mom and pop industries and Europe. BTW I got 48/48 right. I'd find a new line of work if I didn't.

40 out of 48...not bad for a Canuck.

I'd say that's fantastic!

Give me a Canadian History test and I'd fail it miserably and that's assuming it wasn't written in French.

Absolutely true and I won't debate that. I focused on the fact that the North had a larger population (at least twice as big). While both statements were true, the correct answer (the industrial base) was more of a deciding factor in the war and the universe proved it will always beat me...yet again.

42/48. I got tripped up mainly on the ones about specific treaties etc. After 30 yrs, a lot of that stuff has mushed in my memory

[Joe90]

44 out of 48.

I choked on the question of the order of the presidents -- Monroe before Jackson -- and 3 questions pertaining to the constitution and the courts.

Not bad for a Canadian, eh?

What, Captain?!? Calgary is part of Canada???

[EMCE Hammer]

I got 43

44/48. Most of what I missed were treaties and court decision and what they did - but I passed the comprehension parts. Much better than I thought I'd do.
