Hat tip to NGPF Fellow Jill Wilson for sharing this credit score quiz with us. 

What's to like about the quiz?

• It's short (12 questions)
• It's thorough: covers what factor goes into a credit score, who cares about your credit score and the cost of not having a good credit score.
• It's a good review after you have completed your managing credit unit.

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
