1472 - Citizenship test

I was hopping around on links the other day and ran across a citizenship test. It's a little different than the citizenship application form from post 1137. These are questions like: who's the president?; who's the vice president; why does John Boehner cry?; and so on.



There are 96 questions. You have to get 58 right to pass. I got 92. One I totally disagreed with their answer. And I got three more wrong because I was getting bored. The site where the test is located is just slow enough to be irritating over the course of 96 questions.

But if you want to give it a try, here's THE TEST.

You answer a question, have to click to a new page to check the answer, then click to a new page for the next question? Oh HAIL naw. ;-)

I took the test (agree with Jay that it's cumbersome) and scored 91/96. All 5 wrong answers were bonehead mistakes. I disagreed strongly with #70 and "because of high taxes" as a reason the colonists fought the British...it was obviously written by a Republican. The colonists didn't object to taxes, but to the imposition of taxes without any voice in the process ("taxation without representation"). On the whole, not a bad test, but some of the questions were a bit too far in the weeds for what it was trying to accomplish (who needs to know whether the Constitution was written in 1787 or 1789, for crying out loud?).

B - Agree. Also, Some of the questions were 'you know what I mean' questions.
