I remembered, but I found the test pretty hard. 50 questions rapid firing 15 second a piece. Beyond that at least half of the questions were literature based asking for author, charterers, and titles (not my strong point) I would say that if I got 50% of the answers correct I would feel like i did a good job considering. I guess only time will tell.

Yeah, too much literature, too many Americans. But I think I pulled of 60%, maybe even 70% on the thing, assuming some of the educated guesses went my way. (Then again, guessing on these questions isn't really an easy thing to do, if you're mostly unfamiliar with 19^th- and early-20^th-century American literature.)

I was around 85-95. Some were too obscure even for me.
