I scored 100%. What did you score?

I'm Canadian and got one wrong. Your politics are on our TV more than our own.
I didn't know about selective service ages, not exactly anyhow.

Easily, 100%. I didn't look at the link, but I helped my wife study for hers as she is an immigrant. Many Americans cannot pass it though.

Depending on the cut score for passage, most Americans cannot pass it. Sheesh!

Spanish citizen, never been to America. 79%, with many guesses. I think I'd rather be a canadian though (primarily because of healthcare).
-
Yeah, but they took Canadians to the US as slaves.

Canada's healthcare Sombra? Aren't there Canadians going to the US and paying out of pocket to get procedures done that if they wait for up North by the time their # is up, their # is really up?
-
82%
And of course many, if not most, born Americans would probably fail in that test. But that's not that special, most Germans would fail in similar German naturalization tests as well.

I scored 0, the test doesn't work with javascript disabled :cry

I would agree with Lusche so far as my country goes as well. Canadians know very little about Canadian history. In fact, due to our TV and such being 90 percent American, most Canadians know as much or more about the USA than they do about Canada's history and current politics, as there hasn't been a lot of TV shows or documentaries made about it in comparison. Unless Canadians study Canadian specific stuff, typically in collage, they usually don't know too much about it. A similar Canadian test with Canadian questions would result in lower scores up here than that US test I would wager.
There were some pretty difficult questions there for people that haven't studied the US system IMO. It was interesting though - and yes, Canadians seemed to be the whipping boys of that test...apparently we were imported among other things. Like I said, many funny options written into the test, I quite enjoyed it.
