Civics Quiz

Are the university results accurate? I'm a public high school senior and I got two letter grades above the average Harvard senior? It seems a bit unbelievable since I've got no shot at getting into those colleges.

I wouldn't doubt it. I was talking to Justice Kennedy of the USSC and he was pretty pissed at several Ivy league college graduates who didn't even know what the separation of powers was.
