I learned all of the state capitals in 5th grade, but never the states in alphabetical order. So I did it geographically, then double-checked my "M" states ('cause I'm an M-state girl). I picked up Maryland that way. I forget which state was the 49th one I remembered.
I wonder if anyone did the quiz in the order the states entered the union, or (related) by the years of their state quarters. In grade school, we studied them by order of entry.
