I missed one. Left it blank. Just flat out didn't know which amendment pertained.

How'd y'all do?

My sister sent this to me.

Post by: McFarland on July 12, 2007, 11:36:13 AM: You answered ____% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Try the Mexican border.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? Well, word has it, there is a hole in the fence two miles west of here.

45-60%: Not too bad, you beat most Americans.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! And intelligence isn't all that important, we have plenty of construction sites.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! Oh, you're already American and just taking this test for fun? And you have the Constitution and Amendments writen on your hand?

Post by: ChickenHawk on July 12, 2007, 11:48:59 AM: The only one I missed was what INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen.

95% Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

Post by: john9001 on July 12, 2007, 12:00:11 PM: the "real" test is verbal and they only ask 3-5 questions, i helped someone to prep for the test, before you take the test you get the questions to study.

DOH.

At least I have an excuse...not being American or even trying to be one.
Title: Citizenship Test
Post by: storch on July 12, 2007, 01:04:25 PM: I scored 100% and only guessed at the question regarding the proper INS form.

this is far too easy of a test if it is real.
Title: Citizenship Test
Post by: lasersailor184 on July 12, 2007, 01:32:55 PM: All but two of them correct. I always get confused as to which house "Congress" means. I thought it meant both houses, but I didn't see a 535 choice (435+100). So I picked 100.

I also didn't know which form was for naturalization.

Post by: xbrit on July 12, 2007, 01:49:16 PM: I took my Citizenship test in April and obtained my Citizenship in June 2006.
What you guys may not realize is that you are given examples of 100 possible questions and in general they ask you 7 and you need to get all 7 correct. I know 7 sounds easy but you still need to know them all because you have no way of knowing which 7 they are going to choose.
I was sat waiting with a few others and they were under the impression that the person who gives you the test decides when you walk in if he's going to make it easy or hard depending on first impressions.

Missed the question about the INS document.

Post by: gweibe on July 12, 2007, 08:03:11 PM: 95%

Another for missing the INS document question. But then again why would/should I care about which form to fill to become naturalized...I'm already a citizen. :D

My congratulations to all the non-citizens who took the test and scored well (assuming they weren't all lucky guesses).
