Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?

Recently, on my trip to Texas, a radio show was talking about the test a person must take before becoming a citizen of the USA. They asked a few of the questions. One of the guys on the show scored a 48% on the 100 question test. That truly is sad that many Americans, like this guy doesn't know some important facts about the United States of America.

So when I got home, I Googled the Citizenship test. Didn't see one with all 100 questions, but here's a sample of the Citizenship Test that has 20 questions and generally considered to be some of the harder questions. So I took it!

Here's my results... (I missed questions, 3 18 & 20 - Doh!)

You answered 85% 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.)

Go ahead and give the "test" a shot and see how you do!

I dare ya! :)

Don't forget to post your results in the comments area.

(OK for you younger people {or any pansies} out there, here's another Citizenship Test site with some of the easier questions and it only has 10 questions. See how you fare on this test.) [I scored a 100%]
