Can you pass the US citizenship test?

[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?

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.

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

Well, that was definitely easier than the UK citizenship test, which seemed more to be constructed of useless trivia than anything relating to what could be deemed as suitable for "citizenship".

29 out of 30. Missed:
22) What are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy?
A. vote and volunteer as a social worker
B. serve on a jury and join a political party
C. write to a newspaper and speak in the United Nations
D. join a civic group and write to a newspaper

I put down B but the correct answer was D. Not entirely sure I agree with that though. Both are viable answers given that the two top ways to influence government are to serve on a jury and vote.

They should make all US citizens above the age of 18 do this test. And those who fail should pay higher taxes for the next 3 years for being too stupid to live in their own country. Just a fun little idea to keep things interesting.

 

[Ken Sapp]

96% or 48 out of 50. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

 

[vivalahelvig]

I took it in Human Geography class a few days ago, oddly enough. Anyway, It was 100 short answer questions. I'm from good old 'Merica, and I still failed it. It had a bunch of history questions and govt. stuff. You need to get 60 right, and I was only able to answer 60....
Captcha: branch cullect
Wait, whaaaa?

 

[viking97]

heh, got em all right. i did guess on 2 and 3 tho.

 

[Pinkamena]

I got 20/20 and I'm from frickin Norway.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

10/20. Slightly better than the UK test, but honestly not by much. Either way I'm Irish, which automatically makes me acceptable in any society.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

I did the 20-question New York test, got 80%.

Not bad considering I only got 1/3 right on my (UK) citizenship test.

 

[Spoon E11]

Got 3/5 which I suppose isn't too bad for being British.

 

[Darks63]

86% on the 50 Question quiz

I did well enough prolly would have gotten more if i had read more carefully.

 

[ServebotFrank]

Yeah I have. In my town if you go to the local Middle School the U.S. History Teacher for 8th grade won't let you pass his class unless you can prove you can perform well in the Citizenship test. Not just a few select questions, he has you do every single one of them.

 

[maxmanrules]

Hah, I live in New Zealand, your test means nothing

 

[Berethond]

Yes, I can and have.

My professor had us all take one.

 

[SilverUchiha]

46/50.

I would have gotten a few more right. But two of them felt like they were almost opinion questions. And one didn't really have any answers I liked. So... yeah. It was pretty easy. I guess I'm still an American... right?

 

[Nikki Fallingstar]

82% 41/50

;_; I disappoint myself.

Good thing I'm leaving soon...

 

[BanicRhys]

100% on the 50 question test.

I am now a citizen of the state of California.
