I got 100% of them out of 20. I'm surprised. I expected to feel ignorant and humbled like I would were I taking a math test.
Now I give you a high five.zehydra said:
29/30 and the only reason its 29 is because I scrolled right over a question and never answered it :<
New York, 27/30, 90% and it tells me I need more practice. No matter. I passed the test when I was born.

17/20 for the California test, and I'm a British citizen. I guess I'm not too shabby on the workings of America. At least the questions were about, y'know, stuff that's probably going to be worth knowing about your adopted country.
Shup up, test. Ben Franklin is not famous for free library shit, he's famous for flying a kite with a key on it. Get your facts straight.
I got 15/20, but I think this is much easier than the UK one.

72%
I can get around 38% on the UK test. And I live there.
My knowledge of America comes exclusively through pop culture, middle school history lessons on slavery and that one cracked article on how George Washington was majorly incompetent.
Guys I think your test needs fixing.

I got a 17/20 and I learned that our founding 13 colonies were not only called colonies, but were in-fact known as states too.
I mean if you can't get a 60% on this thing you probably shouldn't get to live in America. We already have to turn down a ton of good people who want to get in, so why not help filer for more favorable people?

19/20 but I'm not a US citizen. I live in the US though. It was much easier than the UK citizenship test. That kicked my ass so hard I was wearing it like a fart smelling hat. *thinks for a minute* Eww... Why did I say that?
45/50 and I'm Australian, the only ones I couldn't get were the state specific questions, like the senator. I chose New Mexico for some reason.
43 out of 50. How was I supposed to know when my taxes are due? I'm in high school! Everything else I goofed up on. I managed to mix up the dates of the constitution and declaration of independence. I'm an American citizen so I find it quite embarrassing that I got a solid B on the test.
The Amendments I had in mind were the 15th which states "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 pervious condition of servitude." and the 19th which states "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."Kopikatsu said:
So I assumed that "any person of any race can vote" was what they were looking for as opposed to "any male of any race can vote" which was the "right" answer. Fair enough?
I understand what you're saying, but it didn't say 'What amendment is the one we're using right now.' Just to pick one of them. 'Any person of any race can vote' still wasn't an amendment. 'Anyone who is a citizen can vote' is basically what the 15th amendment says. In the context of that amendment, the part about race is essentially flavor text. The important part is the citizen part.liquidsolid said:
