Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?

Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?


When immigrants want to become Americans, they must take a civics test as part of their naturalization interview before a Citizenship and Immigration Services officer. The questions are usually selected from a list of 100 sample questions (see at http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/English.pdf ) that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview (though the examiner is not limited to those questions). Some are easy, some are not. We have picked some of the more difficult ones.
Should you be welcomed immediately to the Land of the Free or sent home for some more homework? Find out!
(PLEASE NOTE: These questions are as asked on the official United States Immigration and Naturalization Services Web site. Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview, which is conducted orally.)

Edit: I scored 40% correctly, but since I'm not American...
(25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.)

hm.. i scored a 55%, and i aint a citizen either, though i have lived in America since i was 8 (10 years)...

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.

60%

That is only because in German schools´ english lessons you learn these things almost every year.

I did not know everything, but I have to in order to graduate since I have chosen english as my main subject for the next two years ....

I got 45%. I guess I won't be a good citizen. I wonder what Riot would get.

oh well

I got a 60 and I am an American citizen. It's kinda sad but at least I got a few right.

Yay!..i had 4 correct answers

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

and 2 of them i selected with my luck

65%

85%

I've got 65%. But I didn't know things like the 7th Amendment thing and stuff like that.

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

I got an 80% but the supreme court one is total BS. Who selects them? Well the President nominates them but the Senate selects whether they actually become justices or not, they're the ones who appoint them. I also got the 1787 and 1776 dates backwards.

I can't wait til Riot takes the test...

75%

70%. It could be better.

"You answered 65% of questions correctly."

I guessed on a fair amount of them though..

Wonder if there's any way to see the average result..

Is it wrong that I'm the only person that got a 90 so far?

Well, Riot hasnt taken it yet...

I can't wait til Riot takes the test...

LMAO, i was about to say the same thing. I got 70%.

60%.... but I guessed on many.

50%. I guessed most of them

20%.....Guess i won't be able to move to america when i grow up

lol 90%. i like the question about who has the power to declare war... i bet most picked the president because of the way Bush handled Iraq.

Lol 35% ...

80. My mom got a 65 lol.

I got 60%
