I sure as hell did... and I failed... 7 out of 10 correct on the same test given to foreign applicants. Check it out here.

Hmm, always wanted to try Canada... but Mexico has got some great caves though. :fanboy:

You have completed the VoteBook Citizenship Test


Your score was 10 out of 10.

Congratulations! You are qualified to be a U.S. citizen!
I really like civics as a kid.....I don't think they teach it in the public schools anymore, though....

I got 10/10. Not really hard. But listening to Leno questioning young people on the street, you would think nothing is taught in schools anymore. TW

9 out of 10 for me. One of the Bill of Rights got me. :cool: Im with you MACaver, Mexico is the place for caves and ancient ruins. Hope to see and climb the Aztec pyramids sometime. Who need a stairmaster when you have those steps to climb.....Steve

I got 10 out of 10 then took the test two more times. and got two more tens.

They rearranged some questions and repeated very few.

I got 10 for 10 ... then took the test again, different questions ... and 10 for 10 again.

Perhaps the most challenging question for me was
Allies during WWII --- included China (not sure I knew that).

Can someone explain to me why North Carolina is so dang important?

I got 9 out of 10 on two tests becasue I didn't know who both N. Carolina senators were AND on the second test I didn't know who the governer was. Why would I care? I don't smoke.

grump...

I got 10 out of 10. There was nothing particular to a given state on my test. The phrasing on the one for governers being chief executives of states almost threw me--I thought of the president as head of state, not of the individual states, when I forst read it.

Why go to "meh-he-co" (* Mexico *). Just pick up a history book. It was one of my favorite classes.
