You answered 95% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

95% Woot!

Only missed one because I misread the question involving voting.

Wow. They still teach the myth of the Pilgrims and Religious Freedom......

And I've only just started my studies on American politics

You answered 100% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

I blew the question about what were the 13 original states because I scanned the answers too fast and didn't notice washington DC in the list. Tht's not a state. :(

I misread the question "Who selects the Supreme Court justices" I stupidly chose the Senate, but they only confirm them. >_>

That's still 75%, damnit.

95%

My social studies teacher would be proud.:) If only she had taught me what form is used for immigration.

40% which is ok I was hoping for lower as I really don't give a shit about the US.

100.

Lol, I did the same thing! They're tricksy bastids, aren't they?

80% condsidering I don't really give two figs either way. Some pretty basic questions in there if you ask me.

100%, although I had to guess on the "Application for Naturalization" question. The rest were very easy, if not always entirely accurate. (Puritans in search of "religious freedom"? Well, sort of...)

90%, missed the form and the quote.

The immigration form is a moot point since I'm native. Though I am a bit empathetic with people coming in having worked with Germany for my residency permit here. Ya'll have my address in at LEAST 4 places already, can't you just look it up instead of making me write it out....again.

65% I always thought of myself as better then that! We'll, back to Government class for me.

60% brainwashing :D :D :D

Pretty good condsidering I'm not even American.

I got 90%. And I'm not even an American.

I missed the one on amendments that address voting rights, and I couldn't identify the proper INS form (that was a weird thing to ask).

All but 7 nations/states have written constitutions. One nation that has an uncodified/unwritten constitution is the UK which has the oldest constitution in the world over 1000 years old. I had to learn that for my British Politics exam. Damn A levels

I cannot believe that I am a college graduate and yet do not know this kind of thing. I'm often embarassed by how my coworkers are all bilingual and much more aware of international politics and what's going on in other nations. I need to quit playing videogames so much, and start reading some damn newspapers from outside the US.

85%. Quite nice, considering that I've lived in Canada all my life.

Less videogames? Thats ebul :eek: Is anything worth that?! Anyway I could lend you my 500 page text book all on Britain and how politics works here. Very interesting:rolleyes:

Yeah, but English is a totally bonkers language. Plus, Chinese cursing sounds so freaking badass.

I like English better, so much easier to use and most of all write. I always hated writing Japanese Kanji!:headbang:

I took Japanese for a while, and at first it seemed totally perfect. The hiragana and katakana characters were all phonetic and easy to use, and all the grammar made perfect sense, and there was practically no verb conjugation to worry about.

Then they introduced the kanji characters. That was my last semester of Japanese class.

Take up punjabi. Easy language and swearing in that sounds excellent :D Then again it may not be easy to learn as I picked it up afte being surrounded by it at home

of course, the only two languages I speak are English, and bad english. :D

A lot of americans just like independance day because they get to play with fire.

Nice, 95%

But that "What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?" is a bullshit question. Well, for a citizen from birth at least.

Oh, man, I'd forgotten about the severe tedium of the gold standard debate. It could be worse, though - my AP history class had an additional fat book to read on nothing but the populist and progressive movements. I'm sure the populist and progressive movements had many fascinating aspects, but my classmates and I all agreed that, as far as we could tell, the main principle of both movements was being mind-numbingly boring to read about. :p

Heh...and I just speak bad English. Quite often foreigners don't understand what I'm saying.

But damn I'm ashamed of myself!

I love how they included Scooter Libby as a choice. :D

I got 75%, but i'm Canadian, so that's pretty good.

I'm a whole-language proponent, so I think the Kanji should be easier.

Though, I stopped studying Japanese before I got that far.

Hmm, better than I was expecting considering I know next to nothing about the US constitution.

95%. Since I was born here, I've never gone through the naturalization process. Thus, I didn't know the answer to the naturalization form question.

I got them all right, but I admit that I got lucky in my guess about what the immigration form is called.

Although to be honest, I did miss the question asking what the name of the immigration form was. I guessed "N-200." Probably because I've never had to apply. :p

mistakes: q19 and q20.

All but 7 nations/states have written constitutions. One nation that has an uncodified/unwritten constitution is the UK which has the oldest constitution in the world over 1000 years old. I had to learn that for my British Politics exam. Damn A levels

It would be an amazing trick for a country that is less than 300 years old to have a constitution that is over a thousand years old. I assume you failed your A Level?

The United Kingdom came into existence in 1707 with the union of Scotland and England, much against the wishes of the population of Scotland, and possibly of England, too: no one was asked. Ireland was added in 1801, against the wishes of the population of Ireland. Most of Ireland left again, leaving pretty much the current arrangement, only in the twentieth century.

By the way, I scored 90% on the original test: I missed out on the naturalisation form and the thirteen original states, which was bloody difficult to read and make sense of, although I did spot the DC thing.

Based on this, I assume you failed the history too.

95%. Though, I admit, I totally guess on "What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?"
Me too -- I missed it because A) I didn't need to be naturalized, and B) I used my experience wit governmental forms. When I changed my last name, the first form I filled out was called "Petition for Change of Name" (followed by the one the judge signs, the "Order Changing Name"). So I figured the one the INS wanted first was the Petition (N-200).

Okay, so bad logic there. My bad. Still, 95% rocketh somewhat.

Wrong again. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed after the Civil war. The 16th was the Income tax amendment and the 17th (if my memory is right) gave the right to vote to women :D

Edit: Nope I was wrong. The 17th gave us direct election of Senators. It was the 19th in 1920 that gave the women the right to vote.

at any rate I had to Guess on the petition vs application for naturalzation question...the rest are fairly simple . And I would hope someone who was appling for citizenship would know the form .


i bet that if you used this as a test in high school today you would get a bunch of 60's:D

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country -- and that's where you should probably be.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

So am I allowed to stay?

I scored a 75, and I'd sooner endure scurvy than rally 'round their garish flag.
Yeah, like your big leaf is all that much better. Christ, a fucking maple leaf? Could you pick a more boring symbol for your country?

19. What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?

Form N-200 "Petition for Naturalization" is not correct.
N-400 "Application for Naturalization"

How the hell am I supposed to know that? I was born here and automatically a citizen.

I am not even American; I live on the otherside of the world which unfortunately not out of American influence.

I heard that the average American doesn't even know 3 of the amendments.

95%. I always get the amendments mixed up...

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Wasn't there something awhile back about 1 out of 3 Americans not being able to locate New Orleans and Iraq on a map?

oddly enough if i go to europe im sure i can find a group of people that cant even point out their own country on a map and make a statistic out of that

On the whole, I don't disagree with you. I think you'll find that, in any country with a sufficiently large enough population, there are a lot of unintelligent/ignorant people.

I think the way those statistics are done is to given the people a nameless map and put a pin where they think the city/country is.
If the map had no names on I'd find it impossible to find Iraq as I guess many people would and I wouldn't be able to find most major British cities.

Do the maps include national borders? That would make it alot easier.

The Immigration question was the easiest one of all. They give you the answer in the question.

You see, you shouldn't need those words. You're supposed to be able to find it on your own. Hence "knowing where it is."

Don't feel bad, until three years ago I couldn't do that. Thank God for that history teacher I had who made learning fun. :D

I was born in the United States and grew up here. My family has been in this country for almost 350 years. I got 90%. There's no reason for anyone who was born in this country to know less about the history, the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence than someone who immigrated here.

Wasn't that a little too easy? Who designs these things? I'd be appalled if anyone over the age of 12 got less than 100%.

That was one of the easiest tests I have ever taken.

75%. Pretty good, since I'm not an American, and the last I accidentally pressed the wrong box.

70% -- Which fits my attitude pretty well. I often consider re-patriating to another country. The more I learn about Finland, the more I think I should live there. If only it weren't so cold. I frickin hate being cold....

Aww, I missed the question about immigration forms, they never taught that to us in school.

I guess the Americans will be spared from my presence for now.

You answered 90%. Hey anything lower and I wouldn't deserve my History degree.
