PATHETIC!!!

All I need to know about the US is what can be found in a history book?? PLEASE!!! I got them all right, and I've been drinking since 3:00 this afternoon.

And where is the question about Martin Luther King, Jr.??? Susan B. Anthony got a question.

How about some real questions?? How about how to balance a checkbook?? How about how to buy a house?? How about how to find a job??

Seems to me that this test should either make itself relevant, or disappear.

Don't panic Milo.  The link said that there were 100 questions.  We only answered 20 for fun.  I managed to squeak by as a citizen.  Mostly missing numbers questions - number of amendments, number of voting members of the House, etc.

I'm in!

All correct, though I didn't think it very difficult.  I had a terrific 8th grade civics teacher, Joe Stewart, and I doubt I forgot a thing he ever said - he was that great.

100%. But I have taught Am. Hist. and always go heavy on the Constitution basics. I'm not so up on 1920's - 1960's tho.

Most of the questions were pretty basic for students in the USA. And multiple choice--much easier than fill in the blank or short answer which are given to the ones who are applying for citizenship.
