I don't know how to better word this question so I'll be frank; is there any test to see how well one understands (Austrian) economics? I know there is a short questionnaire on the site, but it lacks much comprehension. As I, and I'm certain many others, have self-taught ourselves economics there tends to be some things we neglect to go over in enough depth or miss entirely; and I think a test would help highlight what those things might have been.
I don't suppose there might be old versions of tests from George Mason or any of the various Professors associated with the instititute available?
There's the one "test" on the site that does seem pretty good as far as understanding some theory. When I took it I scored "84% Austrian". I can't remember when that was, though.
I've got a copy *somewhere* of the test they gave on the last Mises Institute; if I find it, I'll be sure to post it.

I think you mean this one Bert. Its what I was referring to my opening post though. Its helpful, but it feels like a beginner's level examination after few weeks study and some of the questions feel more focused on libertarianism than 'pure' economics.
Maybe you can email and ask for previous questions used at the Mises University final exam?
I have to say that was a pretty biased test. I felt comfortable answering only 3 questions with the answers provided. It was like "austrian approach, or 3 kinds of murderous tyranny."
In States a fresh law is looked upon as a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to alter it. ... In short, a law everywhere and for everything!

Epicurus, are you referring to the MU final or the online quiz?
