I got 14 out of 15!
Wow! Your memory is really good! You proved that you’ve got a good grasp on things that happened last year. Do your friends always come to you to ask about what’s happening in the world, because you certainly seem like a person who not only knows a lot, but possesses the ability to retain that knowledge! Now, you can prepare for the 2017 version of this quiz that comes out next year 😉
I got 7 out of 15 – 46%
Oh dear, you missed a number of these questions about 2016. I guess you are someone that lives in the now! It’s perfectly normal to forget some things that happened in the past, especially if they aren’t particularly important. If you’d like to improve your score on such quizzes, try reading the news more frequently to be more knowledgeable on current affairs and play memory games to boost how much you can remember.
