Want to be an American?

After around 10, I stopped. I missed the majority of the politics questions. I don't follow politics, as evident.
 
Missed the number of justices, off by one, missed Susa B. Anthony-oops. missed the one about the Federalist Papers. I am not a good American I guess- 3.

I wish people had to pass this to be able to vote, actually.
You have people voting when they don't even understand what they're voting for.

I agree. there are 4 parts to the test but few question that are hard. Pretty basic stuff

Then I took that Canadian provinces test in another thread. lol
I missed several of those the first go around. Got to learn something new though.

Agreed. I got 22 although it did take me a few seconds on the war question just because I think that's the first time I've ever seen it referred to as The Civil War as opposed to The American Civil War.

Well, 22 for you--basically taking it blind as a non-American citizen (true?)--is impressive. Not so much for us Yanks.

Most of it was common sense. The Vice President is logically going to be in charge if the President is unable to fulfil the role and it's a pretty safe guess that the constitution was what was discussed at the constitutional convention. There were a few that I think I'd picked up from references on American TV shows as well. Not overly sure what relevance knowing where the Pacific is has on whether or not someone is granted residency either.
 
I got all 25 right but I did guess on the President during WWII and Depression. FDR, I couldnt decide between him and Hoover.
 
That was an incredibly easy test. I scored 100 percent on 96/96 questions (the last test only had 21 questions). There were only 2 questions I even paused on what the answer was, but the other choices we so obviously wrong it steered me to the correct answer. I was/am a civics nerd so I would have been disappointed if I missed more than a couple questions.

Of course I'm a life-long American and if I wanted to become a citizen of another country I know I would have to really study to have a chance, and their test wouldn't be as easy as the American test was for me.

I cannot agree more. The low information voter is infuriating.
 
Notice that one of things a new citizen has to swear is allegiance to the USA above all other countries.
