15/17. I messed up on what Sunni actually means, and whether they consider each other apostates. To be fair though, with the rhetoric thrown about these days, that's a fair question.

This test was way too easy, I got 12 right, although there was some kind of glitch, when I finished it told me that I didn't answer any questions and therefore got zero correct.
Most of my answers were guesses, I got lucky. I don't know that much about Islam, but maybe more than most people.

Same score. Missed the same questions.

I've always thought that the weather in the UK is very Islamic. One minute it's Sunni, the next it's Shiite.

15/17. Some of the meanings of words I got wrong. I knew that both sides recognize each other as legitimate Muslims, which seems to have been a problem for others; otherwise, how could Shiites be allowed into Mecca?

13/17. Missed the questions about the meaning of Sunni, whether each considers the other apostate, Ashura, and the title Sayyid.

I got 14/17 which surprised me greatly. I had a very high guess success rate, I only really knew about 5 or 6 of them.

15/17. Most of the questions were demographic/political, so that helped.
