Test Your Geography Skills

Let's carry on with that homeschooling theme, shall we? I mean, it is not often that I get more than one post in a week that has anything directly to do with homeschooling!

For those of you who think you know your geography, here is a great place to see how well you really "Know Your States".

I'll tell you that on my first try I got a 78% and my average margin of error was 46 miles. See how well you can do and then come back and let me know! (I mean that. I would like it if you would send a comment telling me how you did! Really!)

    90% but it was totally because I'm good at puzzles and they gave me easy ones in the beginning. I don't know any of the New England area at all and I struggle with a lot of west of the Mississippi.

    74%
    average error 106 miles.
    I will say that if this had been European countries I would have done much better.

    94%
    4 Miles
    319 Seconds

    Not too bad, but it's hard placing Nebraska, exactly, when there is NOTHING next to it. :)Same goes for Utah, and Tennessee.

    Still had fun though. :)

    WE scored 92 with an avg. error of 17 miles. They must do it in a different order each time which could make it easier or harder. States WEst of the Mississippi are hard to drop in accurately without any reference point. It was fun though.The east coast was easiest since I have traveled from Vermont to Florida and could come very close without any other states to connect to. Laura B.
