Here's a fun test for you to take.
It's the civics test administered to people trying to get their citizenship here in the good ole US of A.


Unable to even.

Re: If you're nerdly instead of pregly.

I got 23 out of 33 69.70%., I can't believe I remember half that stuff.
Shazaam! I got 60.61%
I realize full well that its a failing grade, but I'm impressed with my guessing skills.
Yup! I took it.
I got 75.someothernumbers. (26 out of 33 or something) I missed every single one of the economics on and the one about Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.
Unable to even.

The only one I missed was "of the people, by the people, and for the people." Woo! Nerds!
ETA so I scored 96.97%.
Okay I just have to say - I am always so thrown when I see a "CG" on here because those are my maiden name initials and people used to call me "CeeGee". That's all. Carry on.

I'm rounding to a 76%
Interesting find CG!
26 out of 33- I will admit to guessing on some. Those economics ones were tough.
Oh, right.
I would get a zero if I took a test on Canada's political history.
I wish there was a Canadian equivalent so I could see how you'd all do!
But we don't have them fancy tests up here. We just ask people if they could like hockey and/or beer and you're in!
Yep. That's amazing.
I got a 78.79%
7 incorrect. I attribute that to me getting a lot of economic policy questions. I was an Econ major.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!

Dang, I wouldn't be welcome.
They were! I only passed econ because one of my friends sat next to me and took the next 'every other' exam so I could copy his answers. Yup... cheated my way through econ!

And I give that test an F. It was written so poorly, I'm amazed anyone can become a citizen.

I answered 22 out of 33 correctly ? 66.67 %
ETA: Dayum you biitches are smart. I'm actually surprised I got a 66% to be honest. History isn't my strong suit. I do like economics, though.

It turns out I really did learn a lot from watching that "John Adams" mini-series on HBO. Huh. Thanks, Paul Giamatti!

When I read which ones I got wrong I felt like an idiot! I should have known those.
True story. DH took the test 2 years ago and I helped him study for it. He memorized the whole booklet and everything. Then they asked him the most easy questions imaginable.

Damn you yanks and your overpowering cultural influence!
You answered 25 out of 33 correctly ? 75.76 %
I don't understand why some of those questions would be on a U.S. citizenship test when they are not directly related to the U.S., particularly the business profit question.
