This test is to help TIME readers and their friends check their knowledge of current affairs. In recording answers, make no marks at all opposite questions. Use one of the answer sheets printed with the test: sheets for four persons are provided. After taking the test, check your replies against the correct answers printed on the last page of the test, entering the number of right answers as your score on the answer sheet.
The test is given under the honor system--no peeking.
For each of the test questions, five possible answers are given. You are to select the correct answer and put its number on the answer sheet next to the number of that question. Example: 0. The President of the United States is:
1. Dewey. 3. Truman.
2. Hoover. 4. Vandenberg. 5. Wallace.
Truman, of course, is the correct answer. Since this question is numbered 0, the number 3--standing for Truman--has been placed at the right of 0 on the answer sheet.
