Can you pass the third grade?

[CapeCodTenor]

Ok, we've all been through school, and have taken geography lessons, but can you remember where the states are? Take this test and find out. It's easy, right click on a name of a state and keep holding the button down until you place it where it's supposed to go and then let go. If it's correct the sate will appear in color. If it's wrong, then you'll get an "X." So, can you pass the third grade? I did.

Interesting. I have to admit I get hung up on the eastern states. Never been out there, never really had to pay attention in the last 15 years.

Passed with time to spare.

Sure - but this is a little more than 3rd grade geography. Seriously, were your 3rd graders required to speed-identify all 50 states (well, 48) Mine weren't nor was I. I'd be willing to bet, in fact, that I wasn't able to do this til I became an adult and I actually cared where all the states were.

I've done that before and don't want to subject myself to that torture again. I do great with all the border states. Oh, yeah...east, west, north, south...I'm a master! But the middle states all look the same to me. Kentucky? Tennessee? Iowa?

ETA: Regarding the above post, I agree. I distinctly remember doing this in 7th grade.

No problem.

Only 48 states, but I aced it with load of time left Would have been faster bug darn computer wouldn't let me squeeze Delaware in like I wanted to the first 10 times

Okay, I didn't do so hot. Then again, I got a phone call in the middle of the test.

I took me two tries, but in my defense, the first time I was having a lot of trouble dragging and dropping. I am using my laptop, so I don't have a mouse.

Boy...do I need to take a tour of New England!

 

[jbmom]

I did it. The northeast states always get me confused, they are too darn little!

Since when is this a 3rd grade subject?

We didn't learn the states until 5th grade and we didn't have to do speed testing. We were given 1/2 hour like any other test we had to take.

Piece of cake. I went right through the states in order and got them all right.

I didn't think it was 3rd grade, but I went with what the site had.

Kentucky and Tennessee I know, it's Iowa, Missouri and that area that throws me.

It took me like 4 times, but I finally got it. All of them 48 out of 48 and it still tells me the short bus is coming for me.

It is all the ones in the mid west that I could care less about that trip me up. They are all the same shape. Oh well we can't all be Michigan and Florida can we????

Speaking of that, when you do MI it only lights up the lower peninsula. What is up with that?

Oh and I remember doing this in 8th grade and it I had a really had time with it then. I am pleased to say I am smarter now then I was then. 3rd grade? Really what school?

 

[Crankyshank]

Easily

 

[pearlieq]

No problem at all. One of my favorite puzzles as a kid was a map of the US States.

I had more trouble on another test where you had to remember all 50 states. Darn Nebraska!!!

 

[SandraVB79]

I only have 5 states I didn't know where to put, and I have never even had to learn about them!

I'm just the opposite. I know just about all the East coast since I live in NY. But, alas, I failed
