Here is a link to a quiz I posted on the OLD forum several moons ago. It was for 7th and 8th graders and the average score was around 60%.

I forgot about my discussion with mograce2u. I kept my temper fairly well I thought.

Matt, I enjoyed your test, I'm going to send this to my wife! I missed the Zilpah question, the Gen 49:10 one, I filled in Rachel instead of Rebekah (head smack), and I beat my head against the wall (not literally) trying to remember Joseph's age, but could not. Do you have any more of these?

I have them for Genesis through Ruth so far. I will try to remember to post them next time I'm on my church laptop :)

The wacky way my memory works is that from now on I'll have this fact ready in case it ever comes up again, but surely there was something I was going to get done today that has completely slipped my mind.

I did the Biola test, only got 10 out of 20. I know, SAD!!!!! And I read my bible! But I think I read it more for theology, direction and understanding than for specific facts. That's not an excuse......but I will study harder. Thanks Matt for the quiz. I printed it (hope that's ok) and got 14 right without looking them up.

Anyone here watch The American Bible Challenge? On the Game Show Network. Hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. Very entertaining while getting some facts down.

Missed one on Biola test. Wasn't sure which miracle was in all four gospels.
On genesis I knew Leah was first and Rachel was last so my odds were 50/50. Got lucky and guessed right. Didn't remember Dinah or Tamar. Didn't know Joseph's age when he died.
