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.

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.
 
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.

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.

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..
 
100% bizatches. I didn't like the "who elects supreme court justices?" question, so i answered it in the most literal sense possible 🙂
 
95% (not a citizen, have never lived in the USA)

A few lucky guesses though.

got

wrong

lucky guesses on

12. How many changes or amendments are there to the Constitution?

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 =)
 
85% but damn it if I know what the hell all the amendments are and what INS form numbers are.

#8 & #9 I guessed wrong......
