naturalization stats. in case anyone care. I didn't see any whiteys in the image but found it odd that we would be so much in the minority. So I looked up the stats.

They screwed me on one of those all are correct ones too.:o
Yeah, I paused on that one and figured they must have reinstated it at some point.

Hebe got bored too. But she was all right when she quit around 50. Her teacher would be proud

Wikipedia on Selective Service. Apparently there was a five-year period when it wasn't in effect.

Only one wrong, and I was close on that one.

94 of 96 ... I'm actually suprised. I was never much for history or civics on a large scale, although I know quite a bit about local history. My Mother's father was a local Selectman (think head of a town council) in the 1930s and his father fought with the 21st Connecticut Volunteers in the Civil War. Guess the educational system was good for something.

Ah, I was wrong, I didn't realize selective service covered so much beyond the draft.

This is interesting.

Under current law, all male U.S. citizens are required to register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday. In addition, foreign males between the ages of 18 and 25 living in the United States must register. This includes permanent residents (holders of Green Cards), refugees, asylees, dual citizens, and illegal aliens.[2]

In 1980, men who knew they were required to register and did not do so could face up to five years in jail or a fine up to $50,000 if convicted. The potential fine was later increased to $250,000.

Yep, a ferner who entered the country before the age of 26 must have registered for Selective Service or no Federal Financial Aid For YOU.

I got my 58.
Took me until 67 to get there though - it was too slow for me to bother carrying on.

I got hammered by a slew of questions with numbers in them - I have a reasonably good grasp of American history, and a middling understanding of politics (for a furriner) but don't be asking me questions about how many Senators and how long they serve for. Numbers. Urgh.

Why 96 questions? Couldn't they come up with just four more?

xoxoxoBruce 01-19-2011 01:03 AM
Because the test was created by a committee.
