Updated: Sept. 3

This summer has produced dramatic headlines about events both national and global. Here are 51 questions to help you remember what happened and learn more. Can you answer them all without looking at the word bank at the bottom of this post?

We have also created this printable version of the quiz (PDF), as well as this one-page sheet (PDF) that lists just the answer choices in alphabetical order.

We will continue to update this post with the top news stories from now until Aug. 31. Then, starting Sept. 10, our regular 10-question interactive Weekly News Quiz will resume and publish most Tuesday mornings throughout the school year.

Clicking each blank in the quiz will then take you to the original Times source for that entry so you can check your answer. (All Times articles accessed directly from this quiz are free to readers.)
