Evaluate Your Test Results
0-2 This is a tough test, but if you took American History in high school,
you should have been able to guess this many! (Simple odds give you two...)
3-5 You knew a bit and made some good guesses. Consider yourself somewhat
savvy about the Electoral College system.
6-8 You know your Electoral College trivia very well. What will you
do with all of this knowledge if they decide to abolish it?
9-10 You probably watch political documentaries, flip to C-SPAN during
the commercials, and memorize encyclopedias for fun when you’re not watching
A&E and public television.
