I always have been a B kinda guy.
Spoiler alert!!: Apparently Jefferson wrote some letters? Really? I thought it was Thomas Paine who was famous for his letters to some newspaper. I did know Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Indepedance on hemp paper, but never was taught anything about any of his letters...maybe, it was...long, long time ago. I'm just an OLD fart. Emphasis on fart. That reminds me, shower here I come.

Did anybody else feel that the further you went the more the test took on a Government propaganda vibe?

On the Federal Reserve question I was looking for the answer "destroy savers while enriching the oligarch class", but that answer was missing.
All these multiple choice tests are flawed and simplistic , two of the answers can usually be easily discounted , then its 50/50 on the remaining two , a small random selection from a fixed pool , would achieve a 25% score with no knowledge whatsoever.
All the test questions are listed on other sites , which often charge a fee to practice , it comes down to reading the answers to 1000 questions or less and remembering them.
Same for the UK driving theory test and most of the compulsory training for certificates related to working with machinery ect , its the cheapest way of being seen to be doing something , and raises money in test fees.
A true test would be to just ask the questions and write your answer in a blank box , would also test language skills , but marking would have to be done by a person rather than a machine , so too expensive.

PS: Thomas Jefferson wrote really interesting letters, world would be different if politicians (and people) read them. This is true not only for Jefferson writings but for Robert Anton Wilson's also...

27out of 33=81.82%. Not to bad I guess.
28 out of 33, and i think that two of the questions were fucked up. on one, two of the answers meant the same thing, but only one was considered correct. was not the 1st amendment about freedom of the press? that was not an option as an answer...
