Could you pass the US citizenship test? - U.S. News

My score is posted below (90 on the first try)- am kind of mad for not scoring perfect, being a History major and all.... How did you do?

Had to guess on the one that wasn't part of the 13 colonies. Otherwise, everything else was easy as hell.
 
I got 90%. The only ones I missed were the one about which state wasn't one of the original 13 colonies, and who the chief justice was.
 
got a 70% not bad for a non American I think

First Try....Vermont screwed me up. :doh The rest was simple.
 
I could if told what to read and when the test would be.
 
I couldn't get the picture posted on here, but despite being raise through public education I got 100 out of 100.
 
I missed the one asking about "which state was not one of the original 13".

The Green Mountain Boy's from present day Vermont made me believe Vermont was an original state.

I sure anyone studying for this test can easily pass it. A lot of Americans most likely knew these things in high-school and forgot them overtime as I am sure most who pass their citizenship will eventually forget these questions after a certain number of years, unless that person pays attention to politics. When it comes to knowledge if you don't use it you lose it

I got a 95. What do they mean Judge Judy isn't Chief Justice?

Question 2. "When was the Constitution written?" I chose 1776 and their answer was 1787.

But it's really not wrong because the constitution was first drafted in 1776. A final version was only adopted at the constitutional convention in Philadelphia in 1787.
 
I got an 85 out of 100 but can't post my certificate as I saved it as a pdf .
 
I guess I get to stay, happy to know there will be no knock on the door in the morning featuring Feds that want to round me up and ship me out.

Must admit that I guessed correctly on amendments. I wasn't sure.

I missed 4. I missed how many terms a Senator can serve (I could have sworn it was 2)
I missed I thought the Secretary of State served in the President and Vice President could no longer serve.
I missed who was President during WW1 (I always suck in the Presidents category on Jeopardy)
I missed what the federal government could not do - I was going to say education, but felt like it was wrong, so I picked *something else*.

This is sad because last term, I took Political Science. :( I didn't guess on the others, though. I remembered that much. :lol:

85/100, missed 3.

Although I psyched myself out on two of them. New Hampshire was the original, Vermont not; should have been able to work out that people weren't going to name a new territory after an English settlement immediately post-revolution.

Scored 90.

It was interesting that on my quiz, 2 questions were to make it clear that the excluded item is the right to bear arms. And the question claiming the importance of Susan B Anthony.

Thus a full 10% of the test was to make sure you know that the right to bear arms is an inferior right and 5% is about women's rights history. I would have to guess a liberal Democrat wrote my test.
