I failed the "How to enable scripts" test. Give me a hint.

This link tells me that it is already enabled -- can I trust it?
http://enable-javascript.com/

Here's another hint: Open the test in a new browser page. It will pile up 192 pages by the time you are finished, and you'll be able to escape from it and get back to here by hitting the redX. If you get that far. I gave up tapping my foot and waiting for the next page after seven questions.

I got a perfect score...96 out of 96. I have to say, not to be snarky, that this is pretty much US History/Geography/Civics 101. There is nothing on this test that anyone who made it through high school (maybe even middle school) shouldn't be able to answer. There were a couple slightly tricky ones in terms of the multiple choice answers. One related to the Civil War contained the generic "slavery" answer, which is the one they wanted, but at least one of the other options "westward expansion" was technically correct as well.

96 for 96. A good Citizenship test would not include the names/parties of current office holders. I agree about the slavery/westward expansion question had 2 correct answers. I'm sure some will argue about the Lincoln saved the Union question.
