    Can you pass the test for citizenship(USA)

    I did but admit I got a few wrong that were embarrassing to admit.
    Scored 89%

    How will you do?
    I think it would be very intersting for those not from the United States to take this test.
    I bet many could pass it.

    Congratulations Mike, you have been selected for "honorary" citizenship!

    That's where you're not really a citizen, but need to start paying taxes anyway..........

    I didn't get a score either - do you suppose it's because I took the short version? I only got one answer wrong (longest rivers - shoulda paid attention in geography, I guess).

    But I am still Canadian

    To be fair here, I lived in the US from 1962 to 1971 - which included most of my education - so I probably am more familiar with the US system/history than most Brits would be.

    Re: Can you pass the test for citizenship(USA)

    I got 83 out of 96.

    This is a good test. When I became a citizen in the 80's, the test was a joke. I studied my brains out not knowing what to expect (I was the youngest in my family and the first to become a citizen). But the test was a handful of verbal questions (with no multiple choice) asked by clerk at his desk. He may have even shortened the test when he found out I could speak English fluently.

    I outscored my wife a few minutes ago. And she is from these lands

    The test hasn't changed much over the years. I took the test three years ago and was only given ten questions.
    One question was "Where does the president live?" I got stuck on that one for a second because I was trying to remember the actual address.
    Then I remembered that it much simpler than that. The White House.
