About U.S. Capitals

The U.S. Capitals Quiz challenge allows you to learn, test, or practice your knowledge of U.S. history. There are three different state capital quizzes.

Quiz 1: you are given the name of a capital city, and you must guess the name of the U.S. state it belongs to

Quiz 2: given the name of a U.S. state, and you guess the name of it's capital city

Quiz 3: given an image of a U.S. state, select the correct name

You can also use the flash cards to practice learning all three tests. There is even a new classroom feature allows multiple users to record their quiz scores and know their learning progress.

The app has a user-friendly, colorful interface that is also accessible.

U.S. Capitals is a great app for young children who are studying US history. Teachers and families can set up multiple accounts and compare progress among test takers. It can also be used for practice by people studying for a citizenship test.
