I guessed a lot (and fairly well).

33 questions right for 66%. Twelve points above average, whee!

Oooh! Something handy for peoples with Medieval/Renaissance Studies degrees :)

I got a 70%

I disagree with their etymology of "Ok" too - and there's a couple of others I'm kicking myself over. But on the whole, very satisfying.

History just doesn't stay in my head, I don't know why. Probably because I don't care about it at all.

Second-guessing myself turned out to be more harmful than helpful on that quiz, though it was both at different times.

I'm generally lousy with dates (I can usually pinpoint stuff that happened in the Classical/ Western European sort of history to the right century or two.

But the quiz happened to ask about the bits of history I'm particularly interested in, mostly, which helped quite a bit.
