You will ace World History 101! Every single question was answered correctly, defining yourself as serious student of history and a history buff to say the least. You have clear natural talent in the subject and while you may know all the answers through your tenacious studies, remember to leave room for other people to not only learn, but to voice their interpretation; even published academics can be wrong!

I got that answer: You will ace World History 101! Every single question was answered correctly, defining yourself as serious student of history and a history buff to say the least. "
But I must say I was guessing with some of the questions.. :) History was always my favourite though... (not languages :roll: )

Hated History at school and still have little interest in it, so had to guess at 75% of the answers so was rather bemused that I 'aced it' too!!!

Actually you aren't.

The test is quite sneeky. If you enter anything the first time round, it says "You aced it!". I know this because I deliberately gave answers like the Pharaohs ruled the Romans, and Britain was called Gaul.

So what it is doing is saying you got 100% the first time you play the game, in the hope that you will share the post on facebook, letting other people play the game, and so giving the person doing the data mining more email addresses etc. But, it figures that you will then check your results by rerunning the quiz and giving silly answers, so the second time you run the test, it marks correctly.

Well that explains why I aced it having guessed about a quarter of the answers and got one definitely wrong (when I looked it up)
