Can you pass the US citizenship test?

[Coldster]

20/20, and I'm Canadian. Probably got this score because of the American History course I took last year...and got a 91 in. Waaaaaay easier than that UK quiz.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

Went for Texas and passed with 4/5.

Did better on that than I did on the UK one, and I AM a UK citizen -.-

 

[Sombra Negra]

5/5 and 40/50. compared to about 8 in the UK quiz... and i'm british.

huh.

i'd like to add that i doubt how reputable the quiz is, the english in some of the answers is questionable ('defenses the country'?), but that might just be my ignorance of US legal jargon.

 

[Alexias_Sandar]

50/50, 100% for Michigan. Really...didn't see anything that wasn't fairly simple if you've studied history, civics and the basics of the government. Still...I know many people skip some or all of those in school.

 

[Nuke_em_05]

48/50.

Though, one was personal bias, as I really consider Jefferson the "Father of Our Country".

That site doesn't seem too legit, though. First, ".org", not ".gov". Second, ads. Third, a few too many spelling and grammar errors.

Still, good to know I could probably pass.

72% for the full 50, when I only got 8/24 for my own countries exam i.e the UK one linked to elsewhere. Erm, maybe that's telling me I aught to take the test for real....

Sure it's to do with my taste for American TV and the West Wing though.

 

[JackalSick6Sick]

brilliant! im a uk citizen and scored only 7 on the uk citizenship test....yet on the us citizenship test i scored 19/20 what the hell???? :S

"What does the constitution do?"
-Lets women drive a car.

I laughed out loud at that option.

 

[ultimateownage]

The US one is probably fairer because they teach loads of pointless shit about your own country in school over there, but we don't learn that shit over here.

 

[AngelBlackChaos]

Easily a 100. But. I am a history and politics buff. I know a majority of the people who i graduated with would have failed. which is rather sad. XD

 

[F'Angus]

60% on the Alabama one.. Good for a Brit

 

[Yureina]

50/50 for my (current) home state of Washington. Bwee....

 

[Navvan]

Was actually easier than I thought it would be. 100% (10/10)

 

[Soggy Toast]

I got 100 percent out of five questions.

 

[Dango]

I got 100% on the 5 question test, and 86% on the 50 question one.

I'm not sure why I took both.

 

[cookyy2k]

Well apparently I'll pass the US one with 100% (aww yeah!) but fail the UK one even though I was born in the UK and have never been to the USA...

 

[Dimitriov]

43/50

That's a pass for this Canadian lol

 

[aristos_achaion]

Er...

4) There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.
A. A citizen of any race (can vote).
B. A female citizen of any race (can vote).
C. Any citizen can vote. (Women and men can vote.)
D. Citizens sixteen (16) and older (can vote).
Your answer was wrong. The correct answer is C .

So, I answered A, and the test counted it wrong. However, NB the fifteenth amendment to the US Constitution:

1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

That sure sounds like A to me. Then again, take a gander at the 19th amendment...

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Sounds like B, doesn't it? Actually, I can't think of *any* amendment to the Constitution saying flat-out that any citizen can vote...so we've got a question with two correct answers, but with the right answer being incorrect?

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Wait, is the real deal multiple choice, as well? Because we all know everyone just guesses on those things. Of course, if they weren't, then nobody would get to be a citizen.

Anyway, I got 92%. 46/50 For really stupid reasons. The "supreme law of the land" is federal law, but it's dictated by the Constitution. I picked the former, and it said I was wrong. Also, I'm tired, so I accidentally picked July 1 for our independence day. -_-

I also have no clue who the Texas state senators are, and the question about "participating in democracy" had two right answers. I picked the one that it thought was less right.

Whatever. I got an A, so I think I'm allowed to stay a citizen.

 

[Executor78]

95% on a 20 questioner. I think I still qualify as a U.S. citizen.
