Crap, only 60%. I need to pay more attention.
-
It says "You Remember 70% of 2008"
Although I have no ideas about the each question. -
I did even worse than that. I bombed on questions 2, 4, 6 and 10.
-
I got 70% too. It was a little harder than I anticipated... -
70% and I'm not American, so I am now Mr Brain.
Nice Quiz, Timethief.-
My score was low. lol ... I posted it because I didn't like it.

Erasing my answers so that others don't find all the right ones with my post!
According to them, I remember 90% of the 80's. That's what clean living will do for you folks! -
That's what clean living will do for you folks!
I am a clean living type but this was an American quiz, [she said defensively]. -
LOL!

-
I only got a 60% - but truth be told, the sports and movie questions don't really matter or count as "history" for me!
-
I don't give a fig about American sports and movies. I wouldn't dream of wasting my time on focusing on either when they were happening, so obviously I couldn't remember what I didn't choose to know about in the first place.
-
Exactly! If the test asked about which legislation went through on this topic etc and so forth, I'd be all over it

You Remember 30% of 2008
Were you in a coma for 2008?
It all seems a big blur to you now, doesn't it?
Let's face it, you don't remember much of what happened.
You have a bad memory or weren't paying attention. Either way: scary!
And I said I am Indian -
LOL! it was awfully focused on US pop culture.

You Remember 90% of 2008
Here are my results:
You were paying attention during 2008.
And you remember what happened really well.
You'll be able to talk about 2008 for years to come...
Even when most people have forgotten what went down.

Wow! I'm impressed.

You're welcome. lol ... I didn't post my results either. Like I said above, I don't give a fig about American sports and movies.

Hmm, 60%.
I didn't know I was paying that much attention to what was going on -
Well, you did better than I did.
-
-
If you can remember 2008, than you really weren't there. -
WALL-E!!! -
You Remember 60% of 2008
Okay, you were somewhat paying attention during 2008.
But you're not going to impress anyone with your knowledge of what went down.
You know the basics about what went down, but little else...
Let's just say you won't be writing the history book for 2008.
Not into sports or Sarah Palin-
Thanks for contributing Shirley.

50%, not bad for usually paying attention to more important things like cancer treatments, organic foods, eco-friendly home solutions, etc.-
Given those circumstances you did very well indeed.
