Dude. There are 2 senators for every state. That's probably the easiest question on there.</end quote></div>

Right, that is why I answered 100 when the answer is 435</end quote></div>



Let me ask you this, can you name both of the senators for the state you live in?

That's a good way to remember it,

I got one wrong.
Who said, "Give me liberty or give me death"? - I thought it was George Washington.

So I guess I do know a few things about America.

I thought the test was supposedly difficult, any idiot should be able to get a 'passing' score if these are sample questions.

Passing is 80% by INS isn't it?
Edit: 90% and I didnt study.

Me too. I also have trouble remembering the amendments after the first few anyway. How the hell should I know what the 25th or the 27th amendment is?

I believe its actually 60% or a D in High school. If i remember correctly, when i took mine we kept going until i answered six right and there were ten questions in front of her. I got one wrong (What year was the Constitution written? It's not 1776 like i thought, its 1786 or something like that), but we stopped at 7 questions. So i don't know the final 3 questions that were on my test.

100%, pretty common knowledge stuff, only took a few seconds for each question. Although, I completely guessed on:

19. What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?

Correct
N-400 "Application for Naturalization"
