I'm 76 and have a BA in History, circa 1969. Got 98. Glad to see that some of that knowledge is still somewhere in there. Also, some of that history occurred during my lifetime, so it's almost like cheating on those questions, but I am happy that I still remember.

85. Not bad for a frenchman just diagnosied with alzheimer. I shall keep playing your quizzes, it helps a lot for memory. Thank you.

I'm an old fellow who sustained a head injury in my 30s. I take these quizes to exercise my brain, or what's left of it LOL. Managed to score 90%, but I take my hat off to you older fellas who scored higher. It's nice to be in such company.

Finished high school in 1978. Didn’t go to school until 2015 to finish a 2-year diploma. I am not as smart as those who have degrees/doctorates who participated in this quiz. So, I only got 56/100. But I definitely enjoyed learning from this.

My score was 97 out of 100. During the past few years I've taken up reading history as a hobby. I especially enjoy Roman history. Octavian (originally Gaius Octavius) was the other name for Augustus.

I was pleased to get 86/100, I have never studied history but I do enjoy trivia quizzes, it looks like I have absorbed more information than I thought.

77/100 - the questions became a lot easier for me once they started to be about modern history! Learnt a lot about ancient history

[brendabucklew]

I have to say I'm pretty impressed with myself. I knew at least half for sure, made educated guesses at a quarter and was completely lost on the rest. So much fun! Thank you!

Ben, I got 90/100. I'm 67 now and History and Geography were my 2 favourite subjects in school. I obviously have retained a lot of information on these subjects over the years. Thank-you for this quiz. It was really enjoyable. I did your geography quiz as well and I believe my score was a bit higher on that subject. I think I got 94.

Newly graduated history teacher here, got approximately 90% correct. From Sweden, and listened to it at 1.5 speed so not too disheartened. Thanks for the great quiz!

[uscgmom]

YAY! Finally an intelligent challenging quiz. I have no degree, voracious reader of the Holy Bible, literature, all history, worked in hospital records, court reporting and have been to 16 countries & am 67. Thank you for your quiz! I got 90 out of 100! 🎉

[benders_dash-cam]

Lot of American and English history, and I'm from Sweden and still got 87 correct answers.

[emmanuelbustos]

86/100. Pretty good for a 14 years old. I realized I should learn more about the Vietnam war and asian history. Great quizz

[ninamoores]

I’m in my 80’s and left school at 15 ….still managed 98. Just goes to show what you can pick up over the years.

[Jaggaraz]

History fan as a kid, now a young adult studying law. Got 92, probably because I'm Finnish and some of the more difficult questions were quite Anglomerican focused.

[aoifeblack_]

im a history student so glad to say i got 100/100

[tantanker]

65/100, I realised my knowledge is limited to only my country's history, there's so much I do not know about world history, these videos will definitely be helpful :)

[cherryseptember]

Enjoyable quiz, thank you. Augustus was first called Octavian. He was the great nephew of Julius Caesar. After he defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, he made himself Emperor and gave himself the new name of Augustus.
