Somehow, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m alone in needing to brush up on my presidential repertoire. To start, we have to see what you already know. There were two different quizzes I plucked from the internet that will test your knowledge of the 43 presidents. The first one gives you five minutes to input as many president&#8217;s names as you can remember. Thankfully you do not have to know when they served, but you do need a first and last named, spelled correctly. I found that it took me about three minutes to input all the names I knew for sure, which was little more than half. Then I just sat there willing my brain to dig a little deeper, feeling oh so tempted to steal a hint from the internet. Seem a little tough? Well the second quiz tests your knowledge of what the presidents looked like when they were in office. As an added bonus, it is a multiple choice. Unfortunately I somehow did a little worse on this one. Sound like fun? Give them a try.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetpunk.com\/quizzes\/name-us-presidents.php\" target=\"_blank\">Can You Name the Presidents Quiz 1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zimbio.com\/trivia\/6p7WZ58FOpN\/How+Many+Presidents+Can+Recognize\" target=\"_blank\">Can You Name the Presidents Quiz 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How did you do?
