Could you pass a citizenship test?

[Archae]

This test was rather easy, and I got all 10 correct.

1. What do I win?

You're done!
You got 10 out of 10 correct. Great work! You got them all right.

2. Third grade material...I LOL'd at "Judge Judy!"

She'd make a better Supreme Court Justice than some of the assclowns we've got warming the bench!!

"Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining!!!"

3. The real citizenship test isn't multiple choice

You have to answer 10 questions selected from a possible 100 - and you don't get options to choose from.

5. If they're anything like those, that's still a piece of cake, even if they are "Fill in the Blank"

instead of multiple choice.

I still thought "Judge Judy" was funny as hell.

7. Check the sample questions I posted (reply #4)

Not too tough, but not exactly a piece of cake.

12. I received a rigorous education in my youth--piece of cake!

I would have been excoriated had I not been able to answer those questions in grammar school!

Oddly enough, I learned a lot of my "American" history from foreign teachers, as I spent a good bit of my youth outside USA...~!

14. Good job

I don't think most Americans would find it that easy, but I could be wrong.

17. People who live here all the time might tend to take it for granted.

I always regarded my citizenship as a great privilege. It's a very good passport, and a very good country, even with our faults.

4. Could you pass it when not presented as a ridiculously easy multiple choice quiz?

Here are 10 of the potential questions with no multiple choice.

1. How many amendments does the Constitution have?

2. The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

3. Name your U.S. Representative.

4. If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?

5. When was the Constitution written?

6. The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name one of the writers.

7. Who was President during World War I?

8. Before he was President, Eisenhower was a general. What war was he in?

9. Name one of the two longest rivers in the United States.

10 During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States?

Not super hard - but not as much of a walk in the park as that silly quiz.

How many could you answer without looking them up?

[MADem]

9. That's 7th grade American History and Civics, right there.

The only question with any variation would be number three!

Question 1, though, is a "depends" response that requires more clarity--does the answer want the total number of amendments that have been adopted by Congress, or the total number that were ratified by the States? I'm guessing the latter, but the wording could be tighter!

Question 8 is a little quirky--does one want to know which war Ike was in AS A GENERAL? Because he did serve--albeit "in the rear with the gear" stateside--in WW1, too!

[oberliner]

11. Yes, indeed

Sadly, a lot of folks have forgotten that information.

I would bet that most Americans couldn't tell you how many voting members of the House of Representatives there are, for instance.

[MADem]

16. You are probably correct--I would hope that kids, still in school, would know.

And anyone with half a memory is re-taught those numbers any time a tight vote comes up! CNN et. al, do their part, with their cute little graphs of blue and red seats in a half-circle shape, that blink or change color, depending on how individual reps vote!!

10. Nine out of ten.

I got the year The Constitution was written wrong.

[oberliner]

13. Nicely done!

I think that would be well above the national average.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Wow, I'm really good!

You got 13 out of 10 correct. Don't forget to use the icons below to let your friends know about the quiz and to challenge them to beat your score.

I think they may have a problem with their algorithm.

The civics test is an oral test. During your naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. You must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test.

15. I got it right before even taking the test

"Server not found."

Batting 1.000 so far........

18. Easy peasy and some of the "wrong" choices were hilarious.

Judge Judy being the Chief Justice of the United States, for example.
