Could you pass a US citizenship test?

Post your scores. Be honest.

You answered 100% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)


First try. Really.

I missed #19 on the INS form. But since the INS no longer exists, I think it's a bogus question. I wonder what the form is called now that it's part of USCIS.

I got 85% - I missed the original 13 states, the year of the constitution, and the INS form.

Living in the 51st state is a good excuse?

90%.

I missed which ammendment did not have to do with voting rights (I don't know most ammendments after the first 10 by number).

I missed name of the form for naturalization. (Why would I even know that?)

The 7th Amendment isn't on the tip of my tongue either. But I know there's no mention of voting in the Bill of Rights. So I got lucky there.

D'oh!

I picked the 24th Ammendment, I was thinking that one repealed Prohibition. But's it's the 21st, right?

Just an uninformed slacker I guess. Better than the people that Letterman talks to on the street, but definitely not 100%. I never was much for Govt class.

Only one I missed was the name of the naturalization form. The test is pretty simple, really.
