Actually, I'm a freshman in high school right now, and 9th grade history in CT is World History. We learn the states in 4th grade

33/50  I can't believe I forgot Arizona. Someone mentioned similar test with European countries? Is that somewhere online too? If it is, I can't find it.

ALL 50! And in UNDER 5 minutes!
As an American, and History student, I really did hope I could've done that though.
You know what's a challenge? All the U.S. Presidents. I tried before and missed one......

When I do presidents, I usually always look at Jon Adams and forget John Quincy Adams, or vice versa

I haven't even heard the names of all the US presidents :)
Anyway, it did help a lot with the Europe map, that I'm studying international politics, so I confront a lot of land names too

I only forgot the ones that don't matter . Honestly I don't ever remember having to learn all the states in any class. I also don't get why you non Americans would know very many states at all. It's Interesting that you do so well at remembering them._popupControl();
