Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?

#1 Postby CajunMama » Fri Sep 18, 2009 5:17 pm

Fun quiz...it's amazing how much i remember from my civics class! Click the line below:

Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?

You answered 85% of questions correctly. Here's your rating:

0-20%: Maybe you're still thinking too much about the Old Country.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn't going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again -- word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

I missed questions 15,18 and 19.

The great majority of our leaders would fail this. They'd only pass a test on how to destroy the constitution.

You answered 100% of questions correctly

I became a citizen three years ago. Had to teach my two parents for their citizenship test, four family friends and godfather!

95%.

8. Which of the following amendments to the Constitution does NOT address or guarantee voting rights?
19th Amendment
24th Amendment
15th Amendment
7th Amendment

15th deals with race and voting
19th deals with women and voting
26th is age and voting

I should have said 7th since I can't remember any vote related stuff in the bill of rights, but I said 24th. Was that the poll tax amendment?

Questions 16 and 17 seem less relevant to the business of making sure people are qualified to vote than the rest.

I got 100% but I had to take a wild guess on #19 so it could have easily been 95%.

I had no clue what INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen.
