Could you pass the US citizenship test?

[Trivers]

When immigrants want to become Americans, they must take a civics test as part of their naturalization interview before an immigration officer. Could you pass it?

The questions asked by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are usually selected from a list of 100 sample questions that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview (though the examiner is not limited to those questions). Some are easy, some are not. We have picked some of the more difficult ones.

NOTES: Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview -- which is conducted orally -- and are expected to respond with complete answers.

I answered these wrong:

How many amendments does the Constitution have?
The House of Representatives has how many voting members?
Who is the Chief Justice of the United States?

[Bowser]

Passed. 15/20, and a few of those were D'OH!! misses.

[Chiefspants]

Passed! 16/20, lol, I missed the first three questions but hit my stride after that time.

[Trivers]

I did a lot of guessing. It reads that there is no multiple choice. I would have failed otherwise.

[mr. tegu]

Passed! I forgot to check which ones I missed though.

[Stewie]

I passed with one miss.

It's funny, but the Bill of Rights was debated extensively. It shouldn't be part of any written document. How in the world do you write a Tome that could cover every right? The anti-Tome people were right, but lost.

[Bugeater]

Who fucking cares? I WAS BORN HERE BITCHES, I DON'T NEED TO.

[Gadzooks]

I failed. I dropped out in grade 3 so it was an accomplishment to have even completed the test. 55/100.

[BigMeatballDave]

15/20

[Pitt Gorilla]

20/20. Many of these can be learned through reading the newspaper. If one didn't get the SC questions correct after this past week, they're probably not paying attention.

[mlyonsd]

Evidently I could be an elected official because the only question I missed was about the constitution.

[Thig Lyfe]

Who is the Chief Justice of the United States?

How can you not know this, especially after his name's been in the news all week? DUMMY!!!!!!!!




jk but srsly

[Frazod]

18/20. Missed the total number of amendments and which state wasn't one of the originals (I always mix up Vermont and New Hampshire).

[mlyonsd]

18/20. Missed the total number of amendments and which state wasn't one of the originals (I always mix up Vermont and New Hampshire).I admit I got lucky on that one. I guessed correctly between those two.

[whoman69]

19/20 got confused about the question on the opening line of the Constitution.

[whoman69]

Evidently I could be an elected official because the only question I missed was about the constitution.

An elected official most likely would have no clue about any of it.

[cdcox]

19 out of 20, but only because I misread the question about who was president during WWI. I read it as WWII.

[ReynardMuldrake]

18/20. TIL Vermont was not an original state.

[Buck]

WAS IT ON MAD MEN OR BREAKING BAD? THEN I DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

[Hammock Parties]

Stupid fucking questions for the most part.

Guessed on 2 of them. The rest seem like pretty basic knowledge, IMO.

[Reaper16]

19/20, but only because I misread one question as saying WWII instead of WWI

[NJChiefsFan]

Got the admenments wrong, put 23. If this wasn't multiple choice, like the oral exam that people are given, I may have gotten a few more wrong. A few of the ones you get you can get when you see the answer and it helps you recall.

Yes.

15 /20. SHAMEFUL :-(
My dad is rolling over in his grave

[jason54858]

Majored in history in college so it was pretty straight forward for me. That being said, I can see how the average American would have difficulty with this.

[Rain Man]

20 out of 20 here. I know my America.

How many does it take to pass?

[chefsos]

20 out of 20 here. I know my America.

How many does it take to pass?21.

[Rain Man]

21.

Dammit. I guess it's back to England for me.

[007]

passed 18-20

[mnchiefsguy]

Got 19 out of 20. Just missed the question "Which of these was not an original state?" Had Vermont selected...but changed to Delaware for some reason. Vermont turned out to be the right answer. Oh well, what can you do?

The Vermont thing is a bit misleading - it was part of the original 13 colonies, but part of New York at the time. Just like Maine was part of Massachusetts.

Yeah, I knew that one of those New England States used to be merged with another one, I just picked the one wrong.

16/20 = 80% = I pass.

[Iz Zat Chew]

20/20 But I read the thead first and had inside information.

Probably would have gotten 18 or 19 right without reading the thread.

The questions posed are mostly from news reports that have been talked about quite a bit in the news lately.

It would be better to take the test cold and answer all 100 of the possible questions.

[threebag]

They need to kick it up a notch. That's like third grade curriculum.

[tredadda]

19/20. Only question I missed was the one that asked which was not one of the original 13 colonies. I picked NH, the right answer was VT. Overall though, this was an easy test.

[Thig Lyfe]

I thought too much on the order of succession question. I was pretty sure it was Speaker of the House but then I was like "wait, is it Secretary of State?" and then I was like "I don't think so" but then I answered Secretary of State anyway like a dummy.

Anyway, 19/20. I'M OFFICIALLY AN AMERICAN!!!
