Here it is The state Quiz
I'm not sure if the link will work.

You drag the state and put on the map. It will show you the % you got correct and your average miles off.

Give it a try.

Done it before. 100%. 'course, I've also been to more than half of them, AND worked with computer maps for 10 years.

The link doesn't work, but I have done it one time before. I got then nearly 100% which is pretty good from me. I haven't never been in US.

Btw, There is a similar game to this, but in this game you are given ten random countries and you must drag them to their correct locations. It's not that easy as it sounds.

You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.

Here's a good one that works

I got 36 out of 50. Not bad, considering I'm not a big geography person.

Dammit!! Got Kazakhstan and Cote D'Ivoire wrong. XO

Correctly identified:
Dominican Republic
India
Greece
Spain
Netherlands
Bahrain
Madacascar
Portugal

All hideously simple countries except for Bahrain (I lived in Saudi for 5 years and STILL almost got it wrong!! :( )

Update: Actually, since I've never been to the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic wasn't easy for me, but I did get it right

92% 16 mi avg.

I think the quiz is a little gimpy since you can't really tell how the program is determining the location of the state. Perhaps is calculating the geographical center of the state? For exampe, I was close on PA (why wouldn't I be since it neighbors WV?), but was off by 60-some miles. I really wouldn't count that as a miss, but they did.

I don't have the link anymore, but the state quiz I took had all the state boundaries shown on the map with the names on the left - you had to drag the names into the boundaries.

That was actually really hard, but for an example of how inaccurate it is in showing your geographic knowledge, I live din oregon for five year, adn it was the first state they asked me, adn since I had it a little too far south, tehy said it was wrong....I know where oregon is....I dunno about that thing.
