Test your U.S. Map Knowledge!

Expand Post »
I ended up with a score of 50% correct (25 right)

All you have to do is place the state by dragging and dropping onto the correct location on the blank US map.

Re: Test your U.S. Map Knowledge!

Score - 92% (Average error - 19 mi)

It was difficult to guess the exact location of Utah, Kansas and Missouri because they were asked early on when I only roughly guessed the location. I wonder why I missed PA.

74% -It was difficult to put them in the exact spots in the beginning. Plus those New England states are tricky. :p

Re: Test your U.S. Map Knowledge!

scored 73% first try, about half the errors I'd placed the state just a few pixels off the mark...
Second try 85%, same thing (and there I got all those midwestern states first, having to place them in the middle of nowhere with pixelperfect precision).

and I've never had US geography beyond New Amsterdam and Washington

Re: Test your U.S. Map Knowledge!

My sister just did it and got 90% with an average error of 17 miles. She must have paid more attention in geography class than me :cheesy:

Re: Test your U.S. Map Knowledge!

Cool quiz of U.S. geography but a tad picky in regards to exact pixel placement. I have been to almost every state in the Union but still end up not placing my own home state of Ohio correctly. :lol:
