Hey, hey, I got 91%.
Question 26 made me laugh...all four answers were possible. |

Hmm, I'd counted you in as one who'd score 100%

Let it go on record that it was you who wrote this, not the cranky misplaced Jarocha

Really? Did you rush through it?

I agree.
I got 100% but I admit to three lucky guesses. 28, 31, and 32 I did not KNOW those were the answers, but I'm good at educated guesses.
I also did not know 21, but because it's multiple choice the answer was linguistically obvious. I felt that 5 (and also 19) required knowledge of the US as well as Mexico, so if you are not American you can be forgiven for missing that one.
7 made me laugh because the distractors were so obviously not correct!

32/33. If only this were the nationality test, I would so ace it. |

Missed 3...I kept expecting trick questions.
I was sure the Angel question was a trick and was surprised that Michoacan's main export wasn't migrants. |

Michoacan may very well export more people than produce, but that's not what the question was about. Having lived there a short time, I knew that answer. The citizenship test is not much harder notamiss, esepcially if you've read Mexican primary school history and civics textbooks.
If it had been open ended questions I probably wouldn't have gotten 4 or 5 of them. |

31/33. Of the two I got wrong, one is "what someone once said", not a FACT, and the other was about drug cartels, which I was proud to have not known.
Some of the explanations about prehispanic Mexico are factually incorrect, that being my speciality.
The one about democracy is subjective.
LATER EDIT: It seems I got the one about the cartels RIGHT after all, the quiz maker got it wrong.

Yes, I know people who would take issue with that one--on each extreme of the issue. |

Yeah, I got that one right, but I don't actually agree with the answer I picked. I missed the one on the quote about the PRI, I didn't really know, but figured it was probably Carlos Fuentes, but it wasn't. |

Same mistake made here...
Quite a few geography questions. I did well there. |
