7/4/2012 1:04:56 PM Posted: 5 years ago Check out this U.S. citizenship test and see if you'd make the cut. Post your scores so everyone can judge you equally, as intended by our founding fathers.
http://www.proprofs.com... Keep in mind, the actual test doesn't offer multiple choice and can be trickier. If you'd like to see how you'd do against the real thing, test yourself on these. http://www.uscis.gov...

7/4/2012 2:06:53 PM Posted: 5 years ago lol, I actually barely got 50% in the UK test. It was hard as hell. But the difference is that the actual test IS multiple choice in the UK, whereas the US one isn't. So, you'd expect the UK test to have harder questions I guess. I'm pretty sure many Brits wouldn't know most of those questions.

7/4/2012 2:10:12 PM Posted: 5 years ago I missed the question on the number of amendments. That's embarrassing since I've missed that before.
I took the U.K. citizenship test, and thanks to guessing scored 10/24. The U.K. test seemed to have many more questions about present affairs and life in the U.K. For example, one question concerned attaching a resume to a job application. Another asked who pays for school uniforms. The U.S. test seemed more about the principles of government. I read that if you want to become a citizen of Japan, a government inspector will go to your house and see what kind of food you have in the fridge. Presumably there should be miso and tofu and not pizza and burritos. They demand cultural uniformity. |

7/4/2012 2:27:34 PM Posted: 5 years ago I scored 15/24 on the UK Citizenship Test. For certain questions I just thought, "What would a nanny state do?"
