Okay you red-blooded Americans ... let's see how you do on this test:
Very interesting questions. How well would you do if you took the citizenship test. Try this out -- educational and fun. 24 out of 30 is considered a passing grade. Supposedly 96% of all High School seniors FAILED this test...AND if that's not bad enough, 50+% of all individuals over 50 did too!!
Go to the link below. Take the test and be surprised at what many of us don't know.

I got 23. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've lived abroad for over 30 years.

20.
Fresh from public and state education. They do not cover the Amendments past 8th grade, and even then they just hit the first few. Those are the ones I missed mainly.
And a couple of trivia points. Knowing how many presidents have been born in TX or assassinated is cute (or morbid) more important I think is understanding the different branches of gov't and how the function.
I outguessed myself on the Senator question. Doh. That one I should have known.  |

27....
I fell for the Texas Trick Question, Liquor Import and last amendment ratification....
How I knew the others...I haven't a Clue....
A little Hint for our Govt....Maybe you wouldn't need to print every Official Edict, in 5 languages, if you DID ratify an Official Language....YA THINK ? |

21...I never like to think if I can help it. That unpleasant burning effect between my ears is distracting.  |

Your Score is 22
Very, Very close! A little refresher course and you'll pass.
Not my score, Jess'. Although I did answer one (official language one) without asking her which she did know the right answer to. |

Oh, those poor animals! Wouldn't you rather a nice hemp coat instead?

Nobody took the Presidents test after you got your scores from the 1st one. Perfect score on the Citizenship and one wrong on the President section.
Gotta admit tho a couple on each were really luck. |
