Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?

[Spytheweb]

When immigrants want to become Americans, they must take a civics test as part of their naturalization interview before a Citizenship and Immigration Services (INS) officer. The questions 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: The INS plans to revise its list of questions in 2008 (a pilot program is using these new questions at selected INS sites). Also, the questions in the test below are as asked on the official United States Immigration and Naturalization Services Web site. Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview, which is conducted orally.

I scored 70%!!!

I scored a legitimate 100%. Pretty basic Poli-Sci 101 stuff, really.

Thanks Spy.

Yeah, I took an educated guess at that one myself.

These test are pretty damn hard--have helped Li's friends study for some and not sure I could get 70% on actul test before getting refresher course via helping them--last was Cambodian. She is fortunate that they allow dual citizenship. A lot of countries don't. It is unfortunate that China does not. Li would love to apply for citizenship and believe she could pass test now--however I will not let her because of loss of Chinese citizenship once she does--hopfully they will allow dual in the future.

We joke around at work saying a simple test should be given before your vote would count....at 75% does my vote still count, lol.
