Could you pass the citizenship test?

[T9D]

50% :laugh:

In all fairness though if I actually had to take the test I would have studied. And in School I hated history with a passion. For some reason now I love it though and have read up and taught myself a lot about the growth of the USA in the early years. Just most of it was different a lot more interesting than these questions.

same here and I changed my answer, I had it right at first.

 

[Amused]

95%

I missed "What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?"

Probably because I never had to use one. I had no fscking clue.

 

[daveymark]

100%, guessed on the INS form though

 

[MrDudeMan]

70%. Give me a test about analog circuit design and I'll show you a 100%. Who gives a sh!t about most of that?

 

[randumb]

100%

 

[TallBill]

Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! :roll: Thanks NBC for letting me know that.

 

[Martin]

95% - not a citizen, not interested in being one.

 

[LongCoolMother]

100% here. Only one I was shaky about was the application to naturalization question. Never had any experience/knowledge about that one before.

A lot of the questions lend themselves to be easily answered by common sense, since they're multiple choice. If they weren't, I'd probably get a lot wrong.

 

[Orsorum]

100%. Also, Russ Feingold is my hero. Seriously.

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.

[biff 24 2000]

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

85%

 

[jai6638]

50% .. then again, i'm just a student here and not a citizen... I bet I could have got a higher score with some studying..

 

[Safeway]

95%

 

[Fenixgoon]

100% bizatches. I didn't like the "who elects supreme court justices?" question, so i answered it in the most literal sense possible

 

[walkur]

95% (not a citizen, have never lived in the USA)

A few lucky guesses though.

got
7. When was the Declaration of Independence adopted?
wrong

lucky guesses on
8. Which of the following amendments to the Constitution does NOT address or guarantee voting rights?
12. How many changes or amendments are there to the Constitution?
and
19. What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?

That one I got through a process of elimination. Everybody knows there were no voting right guarantees except for rich, white male landowners until well after the Civil War! So that ammendment that non-white people can vote (shocking!) will be somewhere above 15. And women weren't allowed to vote for even longer (well, has anyone actually proved they have brains?), so that ammendment is in the 20s somewhere. So 7 was clearly the odd one out.

(How many people know what Women's Suffrage means? They had this episode of the Man Show once where they went around passing out buttons to women and signing up women on their petition to "End Women's Suffrage," since we believe that women shouldn't suffer =)

 

[potoba]

[Chaotic42]

Stupid Immigration Request Form number...

[dbk]

100%

 

[Dr. Detroit]
