About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Work through the real mechanics of how candidates become nominees, including how primaries differ from caucuses and how delegates are awarded.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can focus on accuracy instead of speed.

Difficulty and question settings

Choose how many questions you want to answer and set the difficulty to match your goal—quick review, steady practice, or a full mixed challenge.

Mixed difficulty is balanced to include straightforward definitions alongside scenario-style items (like delegate math, thresholds, and party rule nuances) without overloading you with only trivia or only edge cases.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many learners mix up “primary vs. caucus,” confuse pledged delegates with automatic/party delegates, or assume every state uses winner-take-all rules.

Watch for wording about open/closed primaries, allocation thresholds, and the difference between winning a state and winning delegates.

  • Tell primaries and caucuses apart by process, not by outcome
  • Track delegate allocation rules (proportional, winner-take-all, thresholds)
  • Separate voter eligibility rules (open/closed/semi-closed) from party rules
  • Don’t confuse momentum/media narratives with actual delegate counts
  • Note where conventions, endorsements, and withdrawals change the race
