I got a 95, I missed #7. Had it narrowed down to 2 & guessed wrong. Does anyone think we should pass a test like this to be allowed to vote? |

Uh-oh.. I'm going to be deported.. I got a 60 on the dang thing. I guess I had too much booze last night.. Yeah, that's the ticket.. Too much booze last night..
If a test like this was a contingency of being able to vote, then Dubya wouldn't have been able to vote for himself.. |

does 70% count as passing?

I got 60%. No wonder my daughter hates it when I help her with her History homework!!

You answered 95% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:
0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country. 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.) Yes |

i also scored a 95 but missed the senator question
was right after the election and the guy i said lost so a couple weeks earlier it would have been a 100% but hey what do i know |

scored 100% and I am not even American. lol
and no I don't want the citizenship, but I noticed in Miami many take the test and don't even speak English. They are asked 2 questions in Spanish and then become a American Citizen. I wonder what the government's agenda is for doing this? Perhaps you know. Perhaps they just look if you have a clean record and how many years you lived in the country as sufficient to become a citizen. I only know of this because I have a friend who wanted to become a citizen. I told him don't do it! ha ha just joking! but in the long run they just asked how many stars are on the flag and who is the president and he got his citizenship. Again perhaps it is only in Miami like this. |

No we shouldn't need to. The test is basically there to make people work to be US citizens. To help weed out the people who don't want it as much as others. We have a limit on how many people we give citizenship for.
Besides, enough americans don't vote already. If they started making us take tests to vote than even less would. The only people that would end up voting would be the people that really want to make a change and the government wouldn't want that. |

Just saying, if we were like that already I think Ron Paul and not McCain would be the Rep nominee. |
