Could you pass a US citizenship test?

Post Reply New Topic

Only after they have been indoctrinated.

I feel like a DA I had no clue how many Senators or Reps we have.I found civics to be one of those dull classes.It's now apparent I was not paying very good attention.I think I got a C in that class,about what my test score on this was.

93/96.

Though I didn't get this question wrong, one could argue that westward expansion and the fate of the territories was one of the myriad reasons why we got involved in the Civil War.

To repeat what I said I got the "in the upper eighties" (or would have if I had been dumb enough to waste time finnishing a test that I obviously was gonna pass).

But I happily and humbily salute a foriegner beating me 94 to circa 88.

I should be beaten with a cane!

And in all fairness I dont know how that particular question was worded. It mightve been nitpicky or not depending on what dates they offered as options ( ill have check it out since I bailed out of boredom before I got to it).

And I assumed goonsquad was an american- hense my indignity about him calling it 'trivia".

If you're a foriegner NOT trying to live here then I agree that the exact year would be kinda trivia (though every educated person on the planet should have SOME sense that our constitution was created in the late 1700's around the time of the French and American Revolutions IMHO.

"We wuz robbed", eh?

Note: "We wuz robbed!" was first shouted by Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmelling, when at the end of a fight Max seemed to have handily won, the decision instead went to Jack Sharkey (June 22, 1932).

The quiz was rather time consuming to do...

I answered the first 25 questions, then gave up. I had only got the speaker of the House wrong up to that point. As long as the actual test doesn't require you to answer one question at a time and then get it marked, I think I have a reasonable chance.

Yes, I had heard somewhere that they give you lessons or something to ensure everybody passes, unless of course like me you are a white Englishman in which case you don't qualify anyway, at least that's what they told me when i entered some Green Card enrollment thing some years ago.

I wanted to see how easy it was to pass without even the lessons.

So I just googled and found we have one here in the UK! :- LINK

I havnt found the test, if I do I will post it, be interesting to see how they compare?

I can envisage some of the questions:-

"What do the letters N.H.S. stand for"

1. Nottyash Home for Sailors

2. Nice Horse Sir

3. National Health Service

4. No Hope Saloon

Not me. Definitely a foreigner, don't want to move there, but scored 66/96.

Not too bad, misread some to the questions.

98% and not a US citizen. I did have a few lucky guesses though.

I got up to 15 and ran out of patience with the way it scores each one before moving on. I got those 15 right for whatever that's worth.
It's a moot point since my ancestors already took it for me, if there even was a test then, and I inherited the right to be willfully ignorant.

I took the real citizenship test and I can tell you this online quiz is nowhere near how easy it was.

I'm not joking..they asked why the flag has such number of stars, why it had such number of red and white stripes.... how many people in the supreme court ( I got that one wrong lol), who was the first president and little things like who is the president now, who is the vice president and such.

I got 71%, 68 right, 28 wrong.

This test had those same flag questions.

And also a couple of real giveaway questions like "when you become an American citizen you swear an oath to..." , and they give choices like "DISobey the laws" that even a chimpanzee would know not to pick.

I wonder why they didn't ask who was buried in Grant's Tomb?

It said I got 85%, but my real score is 96.9%.

The last 11 questions were all counted wrong for some reason, but I know for a fact that they are right.

Got 82 right.

I think the citizenship test is way too easy if those were actual questions.

Some questions were actually repetitive.
