Yeah, yeah, we all remember the Verb superhero and Interplanet Janet. But with school starting up again, the important question is this: how much useful information did you gain from all those Saturday mornings spent absorbing the Schoolhouse Rock canon?

Today’s quiz tests Schoolhouse Rock as much as it does you, by measuring the amount of actual education that’s stuck with you in the fields of grammar, science, and American history/government. (We’re going to trust that you know your multiplication tables.)

  2. I only got 75%- the science questions got me.

  3. “Which of our solar system’s planets has an axial tilt?” I thought they all did. Even Mercury has an axial tilt (it may be only about .01 degrees, but it’s there!).

  4. The last question should be the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. John Adams wasn’t even in the country at the time of the constitutional convention, let alone on the drafting committee. However, the cartoon appears to be the Constitution, so I am curious what the original SHR said.

  5. Author of the quiz here – both corrections are completely right. I’ve notified the webmaster in hopes he can reword the questions. I suggested “SEVERE axial tilt” to fix the Uranus question.

    On a good day, I really am kinda smart!

  6. I ACED this! I guess I watched too much Schoolhouse Rock (is that possible?).

    Remember, 3 is a magic number.
