I found these two quiz websites, Sporcle and Jet Punk, when I was looking for a US map quiz. (For some crazy reason I wanted to learn where all of our states are located.) DH and I found ourselves addicted; it's like taking bar trivia quizzes without the bar! We go through spurts where we can't get enough. We'll sit and answer trivia questions for an hour or so, easy. I've added several of the map quizzes to my links list, and finally decided to set up a separate section for them and add a bunch more. Thanks to these quizzes I can now tell you where any state is in the US and where any country is in Europe. (Although I'm still a little shaky on Europe; that's new.) I want to master all of the other maps I've listed over there as well. It's only a matter of practice, after all. When I first start taking any of the quizzes I am TERRIBLE!! My base knowledge of geography is, I'm ashamed to admit, absolutely dismal. But no more! I shall practice, I shall learn, and I shall still fail all the PRI geo quizzes! Huzzah!
Give some of the quizzes a try; how do you stack up?
Thanks for dropping by my corner of the internet; grab a chair and sit a spell. I have all sorts of things to share. Things I struggle with like fibromyalgia, my son’s learning disabilities and trying not to gain back lost weight. Things that make up my work like homeschooling, feeding my family and volunteering. Things I do for fun like biking, gardening and reading. Things I think about like politics and how to make the world a better place. All sorts of things that spark my desire to write.

I'm the same way -- love these sorts of quizzes. I've got Africa down cold but not Europe just yet.
