General knowledge quizzes are particularly challenging and this one is no different. In order to do well, you'll have to know a lot about a wide variety of subjects. Very few people are able to achieve expert status on any subject, let alone the number of topics this quiz will cover. You'll need to know some things about history, geography, world events, pop culture, science, and more to answer most, if not all, of the questions in this trivia quiz correctly.
People who tend to do well on quizzes such like this are usually those overachievers in life, or just are really good at yelling out answers during Jeopardy. Academics and game shows are where general knowledge experts tend to do the best. Perhaps after taking this quiz, you’ll decide to go back to school or audition for Jeopardy. Let’s see how you do here first, of course.
