Could you pass a U.S. Citizenship Test?
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0104/Could-you-pass-a-US-citizenship-test
I got 92 out of 96. One of the ones I got wrong I find embarrassing. Can any of our foreign members find online tests for their countries?

1) Here's the thread: http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=2...tizenship+test
2) Foreign? World Wide Web, no? Are you hoping for answers from Martians? 3) Unless you're killing time at the Walmart checkout, just don't bother with the quiz -It takes about a minute per question

... and there are 100 questions
 I got through the first 50 with 50 correct and was ready to quit. I went ahead with #51... and missed it. So I quit while I was at least ahead by that much. |

73 out of 96
And even then there were quite a few that didn't so much test my knowledge of American culture so much as my ability to work out what the answer should be based on other knowledge.

eek! 82 out of 96! or 85%.
a 'B' - story of my life. eta - I liked the question about what the war between the North and South was called. There wasn't any answer that said, "The war of Northern Aggression," which is what the southerners call it, even today!

I got bored after 30 questions. Too much clicking.
But I had a perfect score until I gave up. |

I passed it in 2002. They didn't tell us our scores, though! I way overstudied for it. Now? Not so sure ... But when the test is: are you a US citizen? I still pass!
