John Dickson Carr Quiz

You can take this test as many times as you like, because it is not recorded or registered. It is meant for amusement, but also to prove your knowledge of Mr. Carr, if you consider yourself a true aficionado. The timer is just there to make you fret.


Read Carefully
Instructions:

  1. Click the brown button next to each answer you think is most correct.
  2. If you do not know the answer, do not guess, since wrong answers are penalized.
  3. If you check the wrong button, simply click the correct one to change it.
  4. If you have checked a button with a guess and wish to deselect the button for that question, just click the lit red button.
  5. When finished, click the "Click When Finished Button" at the end of the test. Your score will appear below it, and all correct answers will be lit with a green button. Check over the "green light" answers you didn't know to assist you in knowing what areas you still need to study. Your own answer is shown in red, unless it coincides with the right answer, in which case it will be green. Top score is, of course, 100 points.
  6. The scoring system is 20 points for each correct answer, 15 points deducted for each incorrect answer, and no points for unattempted questions. If you are penalized with a wrong answer even if you clicked the right entry, there is a bug in this program. Tough on you. Shit happens, and you better believe it.
  7. The Society takes no responsibility for either the questions or the answers. There might actually be answers to some of the questions that are more 'correct' but are not listed because of the limited scope of using multiple choice. Some answers are partly right but only one is MORE right than the others. Would you have preferred essay questions? You have the option of submitting text explications to this exam, no less than 5000 words per question. We have the option of not reading it.
  8. The test questions will be changed every couple of months (but older quizes will be archived).
