One needs to score at least a 60% to pass the test.

I got 48/50, 96%

[Ancilla Domini]

I got 47/50  94%. 

But I was born in this country, so I don't need to know nuthin' about it.

This question has too many right answers:

19) What are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy?

A. vote and volunteer as a social worker
B. help with a campaign and give an elected official your opinion on an issue
C. write to a newspaper and speak in the United Nations
D. serve on a jury and join a political party

[Lyubov]

[Mr. Mysterious]

Got a 47 out of 50. Not bad.

Yes, there were a couple of questions like that.

Considering that a non-American easily passed the test, it should not be that difficult.

I have several family members who passed the test.

I got a 48/50. The two questions I got wrong were:

14) What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens? *
A. vote in a federal election
B. serve in the army
C. live and work in the United States
D. volunteer as a social worker

I chose C., but the answer was A. I think I misinterpreted the question, perhaps due to my dislike of democracy and of voting and my interpretation of the word 'responsibility' to mean 'obligation.'

15) What is the supreme law of the land?
A. the Constitution
B. the federal law
C. the command of the president of United States
D. the Declaration of Independence

I chose B., but the correct answer was A. I chose B. because whenever state laws and federal laws contradict, federal laws are supreme, but perhaps I was reading too much into the question.

Anyway, I passed. Good thing, considering they let me teach history at my old school...

"For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"
From a protestant bible. (utilizes the word citizenship) 



From our bible:
"But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,"
Philippians 3:20

This was quite easy.  I've heard that many natural-born citizens can't pass this.  That seems impossible.

You must not know many people.

They are dumb.

They, the people.

I got 48/50, and the two questions I missed were "Name a war fought in the 1900s" which I misread as 19th Century and "Name a power given to the states" which I said form an army, because I thought the states had the right to a militia. Oh well, shows how little I know about America!

48/50

Missed a question about who wrote the Federalist papers, and for some reason I thought Green Card holders could get jury duty.
