State Capital Quiz
How successful were you at state capital quizzes in elementary school? Naming all 50 U. S. state capitals in grade school seemed much easier when studying than when you ended up taking the test, right? Remembering every single state capital, (from Des Moines to Charleston and Jackson) is not something many people can do. In fact, it is almost impossible to name them all in a one-hour time block. Who can remember the capital of Minnesota or even the capital of Florida? The good news is that this quiz is more about the facts about the U.S. state capitals and not so much about your geography skills.
