A none to shabby 6/10 for me

 

[ASC1951]

Six for me, too. Pleasantly surprising, since I wasn't taught any history between 69 AD and 1840.

 

[PpPete]

7 - but lots of lucky guesses

 

[Nearly there]

5/10 terrible

 

[Cheddar George]

8 / 10. I am confident that i knew the answers to 5 of the questions, the rest were down to pure luck and being able to eliminate one of the options to improve the odds.

 

[Dayvo]

8/10 - mostly calculated guessing.

 

[Profpointy]

5/10 terrible

10 :-) but admittedly wa far from sure on a couple.
Wouldn't have done so well if I'd had to state the dates though - perhaps knew 4 or so to the exact year

 

[Chromatic]

8, with the same technique as Dayvo adopted.

 

[Linford]

7/10

 

[accountantpete]

5/7 -great but then I remembered it should be 5/10.

 

[ACS]

7/10
Mike in networks 7/10
Stu in tech support - 5/10
'Z' in AV - I'm from NZ FFS, not telling you

 

[Paulus]

A good 8/10 for me. I got the Union between England and Scotland and Charles the 1st's execution wrong.

 

[Sittingduck]

Woo-hoo 8/10, using the Dayvo technique

 

[rich p]

8
In my day history was taught in an incredibly boring, chronological way and some of the rote-learned dross has stuck.

 

[Davidc]

7. Same comment as rich p.

Knowing precise dates has no value. If you want to know them look 'em up. The important things are why events happened, what their consequences were, how they altered people's lives and the like.
