I got 18 right, got Susan B. Anthony confused with someone else and couldn't remember who was the Chief Justice.

I got 75%.

I missed the number of amendments to the Constitution, How many years a senator is elected for, Who takes office if both the president and vice president are killed, the name of the Chief Justice, and what Susan B Anthony did.

I don't think I did too bad actually considering I have only studied WW1, The Russian Revolutions and Scottish history as History topics.

70% (14/20) - not bad for a Canadian who's never lived in the US.

P.S. I obviously didn't look at Jonas' answers before taking it.
