The non-citizen benefits I didn't know about. The questions about minor children and divorced people I didn't know. A couple of others, I basically guessed the right answer. So, three wrong, and two unsure out of ten. That's a bad score. However, in my own defense, none of those questions apply to me or any retirees I know, and some of the questions had nuanced answers, which they simplified to true or false using different criteria. For instance, the answers to the questions about continuing working and about divorce were really "sometimes true, sometimes false depending on the details," yet they rounded one to false and one to true.
