Robert Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Here are 20 questions, selected from the 100 used for citizenship tests. Since I had no idea about any of it, I answered randomly, and gained the perfect random score - 50%. However 80% is needed on this test, so I failed. Try it -> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13442226/ and post your results here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 65% I failed. I got questions 1-3, 5-7, 10-12, 14, 18-20 correct. Now that I think back on it, questions 4, 13, 15 and 17 should have been a piece of cake if I'd put more thought into those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmvogel Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 17 out of 20 (85%) And I'm not even a citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diso Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I got 85% right as well. Screwed up when the Constitution was written. How many amendments there were to the Constitution. and the correct form for immigrants. Now, if those were short answer questions, it might be a different story.

iq_132 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 You answered 90% of questions correctly. Here's your rating: 0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country. 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!
