7 out of 10 for me. Amendments, Ben and Federalist papers tripped me up.

I had an 80%. But the premise is misleading since the questions that were asked were just the hardest and most frequently missed questions. We had none of the easy questions to feast on.

Didn’t open the link, but I’ve read some of them before. Who was the first postmaster general was one, which was technically Franklin, unless you count after the revolutionary war. The sad part is, i would say 30% of natural born citizens can’t pass that test.

High School "civics" is not what it once was.

How do any of those questions impact anyone's ability to be a citizen?

I got 5/10 so I guess I'll be deported any time now.

10/10. The Federalists Papers question is probably the hardest.

I missed the question about the # of airports during the Revolutionary War.

I know you are joshing. But the real deal is that only permanent residents (green card holders) take the test and they never get deported. Unless they were Nazi death camp guards, etc. Or became members of the Blue Nation.

As to the merit of testing, the US government has historically put hurdles in front of immigrants on the path to citizenship. The test is one of them. It used to be that one could not even take the test if one had HIV, or immigrate in the first place.

Yeah. That one was a real b*tch! I just guessed. Luckily, I guessed correctly.
