I did pretty well with a 64. But the map is so small, and most islands not bigger than tiny smudge! I rely on seeing the island shape to identify it, and with anything smaller than Guadeloupe that was impossible. Anyhoo, that was fun. Thanks for sharing, JAGIRL.

I love the fact that they have Cuba, Bahamas and Jamaica as not being in the Caribbean, but as part of the Central Americal quiz.

Well we all know that technically the Bahamas is not in the Caribbean sea, but Cuba and Jamaica? Personally, I think the quiz people need to do a little more study of geography.

A better map would help, I got 39/42 on the Central America one & I have to think I would do better w/a better map of the islands.

Too much fun!
It is a terrible map though, Anguilla is not the big compared to St. MArtin!!!!
The horror-I got St. Kitts/Nevis wrong, and I know where it is!!!

I just tested myself in several areas. Perfect score for US, South American and Central America. Around 60% for Africa & the Middle East. And a surprisingly low 73% for Europe--it's those eastern European countries that tripped me up. And never mind the Oceania. I didn't finish, but if I had, it would have been probably around 30%. Yikes!

Good gosh, is St. Martin really that small compared to Anguilla???? I couldn't find it. I needed glasses for that one, too. :-B

That was fun, JAGIRL!!!
