Could you pass the latest citizenship test?
 

In October 2008 a new version of the U.S. citizenship test will be taken by all applicants. Could you pass it? The questions are usually selected from a list of 100 samples that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview. Some are easy, some are not. We have picked some of the more difficult ones.

NOTES: Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview. The following questions have been adapted from the immigration service’s sample questions.

95% - the only one i missed was how many amendments does the constitution have, but of course i am a social studies major education major so i should probably do pretty well on this seeing as it is what i will be be teaching

95% also. i got the year the constitution was written wrong, and a good guess on the current chief justice.

i got a 90...missed the constitution yr and the land from france one

Haha you guys are nuts. Why are you missing the easy ones? :D You're scoring better than me, but come on... :)

i got a 50 :)

Me, too. I said 23.

Well if you combine our scores we did better than everybody else 105% :biglaugh:

But shhhhh, the Gov. might try to deport us if they catch wind of this

^^^^ yea ill keep it on the hush. and i guess it even worst that i guess on some of the ones i got right :)

I got a 75% ... but i tend to not really read questions before I answer. That would be the reason for my SAT scores hahahah.

You and me both...

Damn, good thing I don't have to take that test! :biglaugh:

I didn't do so hot. History and Gov't were the two subjects I hated in school. I guess I just proved how little I payed attention back then haha.

something i was thinking about today at work - the questions on the test are essentially trivia questions, they are good general things to know, but i really don't see how they have much bearing on how good/productive someone will be as a citizen

yea, simple math and language skills would be much better.
