I would pass my Naturalization test, if need be

so…at lunch today we got to talking about stuff, and I mentioned an article I saw that asked a series of civics questions. The article implied that most people born in the U.S. know less than naturalized citizens when it comes to civics.

so…we took the test at lunch…

I got an 87, but I have an excuse: the wording is a little off on some of the questions. If they asked the question a different way, or moved a word or two around, I would have aced it…

either way, I’m happy with it

    heh, this was cool.

    I got a 93. I couldn’t remember the name of my second NH Senator, and I only got 12 of the 13 original colonies.

    #72 asked what form I would need to apply to become a citizen. I’m guessing I would know this if I actually *were* applying to become a citizen. Since I am a citizen already, I had no blooming idea.

    I accept a point deduction on #78 and 88 only under protest. The US is a Federal Republic, not just a republic. Also, I didn’t notice “capitol” was spelled with an O in #88. So when it asked what the “capitol” of the USA was, I said “Washington.” Ha-ha!

    Also, #19 is just stupid. The constitution is a document. Really. I can prove it.

    (Got the number of amendments and the year the constitution was written right by totally guessing. I’ll sneak my way into this country and vote Commie. Muahaha!)
