Here is a link to the coming October, 2008 version of the American Citizenship test, hosted at MSNBC.
Take the test and see how you do.
I made a 95% — missed question #2.
How did you do? Did you pass? Are you an American citizen?
BZ
P.S.
Did you pick up on my clue?
I’m so sorry for you BZ,
questions like these are a breeze to me.
I stand tall,
I got them all
It’s a matter of pride, you see.
VW, that’s me
ah well, I missed #8 because I didn’t read the whole thing before checkin.
the sad thing is I know a lot of Americans would flunk this quiz. and what’s more, they wouldn’t care either.
VW: yeah, I screwed the pooch on number two, darn it!
Mark: hate to say it, you’re quite correct, the bulk of Americans are ignorant and couldn’t care less.
BZ
Yeah, but ask’em about the latest entertainment gossip and they’ll pass every time!
Hi Bloviating Zeppelin. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your comment, which I appreciate.
I received the clue well – immigration.
I studied Constitutional Law so I scored a 100%. I believe INS should hire me so I could make that test harder. Of course I am sure that was a sampling, but I say still too easy.
Great find and thanks for this most interesting little test for your readers. We must keep up with our civic knowledge you know! 🙂
BTW, sorry I forgot to let you know I added you to my list of links on my blog. You have a very interesting blog here indeed and I have enjoyed reading some of your other posts aside from this top one.
I did WAAY better than I thought I’d do..90%. WHO KNEW?
QUESTION: How could Delaware have been one of the original States if it’s not a State now? I thought it was a ‘District’??
95%, I thought Susan B. Anthony was a money person, I mean, what with that dollar coin and all…
Layla: thanks for the linkage, I’m sufficiently stupid not to have found it but, in any event, you have a wonderful blog, technologically spectacular, excellent writing.
BZ
I missed the one:
“who was pres in WW1” I wasn’t freakin here how the hell would I know and the school I went to had no books and oh I had to walk to far to school oh and ummm… LOL
Yeah I missed 2 actually, #2 and the ww1 question.
I got 100% but I wonder what the Obama would get. He seems to have his own secret constitution.
Shoprat’s a genius! I would love to see the results of Obama taking this test!
I missed two, BZ. #2 and 19, but shouldn’t have missed 19, because I knew the right answer.
I’m positive that most Americans would fail this test miserably.
Darn, I got 64%. I need to brush up on US history, then again, I may know more than a lot of Americans (I am from Singapore).
BTW, hello BZ. I found your blog through American and Proud. I’ll add you to my blog roll.
100%
I did have to read a couple of the questions a second times.
You answered 100% of questions correctly.
Just lucky, I guess.
Hey, “z” – Delaware is a state, you must be thinking of the District of Columbia!
It must be early and my glasses are dirty…
I got 100%… the third time 🙁
Isaac Lu: hey, thanks for taking the test and welcome aboard; comment and visit frequently! And yes, I’m certain most Americans, particularly the younger generations, wouldn’t do half as well as you did.
BZ
I got number two!! I got number two!!! hee hee..!! I did pretty darn good I must say!
Darn … only got 85% … uh .. wait a minute… I’m not American … Don’t ask me to do the Canukastan one… I’ll fail for sure…
ab
The canukistan one is easy the answer is BEER AND HOCKEY
Hey, WMD – would that be a racist remark?
heh heh heh…
Cary! SORRY..you’re right.
I’m surprised I did as well as I did….
I’ll slink off now…thanks!
No slinking – we all have senior moments…
