It's the typing that makes this test difficult. You have to type all 50 -- and spell well enough that the system recognizes what you are typing -- in the 10 minutes.
I'd have been faster if I could ever type "Minnesota" "Massachusetts" "Connecticut" and "Mississippi" without typos. My fingers get confused.
I have problems typing the states named after old indian words. They're long and have strange combinations of double letters. (Then again, the only reason I can type the word "Tallahassee" is because I've done it so often. Practice, practice, practice.)
I can recall the states pretty quickly because I see a map in my mind. So, I can pretty much go from east coast to west -- or north to south -- and not miss any. But I don't think I ever learned the state song. Damn you, New Jersey public schools! :(

I learned a song in elementary school that enabled me to just name all the states in 18.2 seconds. In alphabetical order.

Ah. I didn't click the link and see that you have to type them. I did it with 7:58 left.
Then you are a way better typist than me.
I still can't spell Massa*!#*@#U. Damn. But that song from 5th grade sure did come in handy.

OMG! I got to 47 with about 6:30 left and spaced. I got two of them over the next two minutes, but could NOT think of the last one.
It turned out to be New Jersey! Hahaha.
I forgot NJ and Wisconsin.
How could anyone forget New Jersey!
Or Wisconsin!
Especially right after I read your comment mentioning New Jersey public schools! I'm stupid.
I mention New Jersey a lot. But I lived there for 12 years . . .
I think my point is how can you forget the state with the most punchlines.
