Have What It Takes To Become A U.s. Citizen?


Recommended Posts

90% and I'm shocked that I remembered all that, but like Matt, a lot probably came back to me when quizzing the kids for their USGovernment tests! (Mrs Patterson is the toughest teacher in Montague High!)

75% But I was to lazy to read the 13 original states and went with the default C. And had no clue about the voting amendments.

I guess that makes me a true american.

100%, but I just took the AP US History test :)

Still awaiting results by mail (that's a different story though - you pay close to $90 to take the test, then you can pay an optional $8 and phone in for your grades in late June, friggen scam)

XX, do you get College credit for a History course if you pass the AP test? That's how it works in Michigan. If so, $90 is a bargain as most History courses are 3 credits, figuring $60 a credit at a Community College, more at the Universities. Hoping you pass with flying colors!

Thank you! With all the 90's and 100's I was feeling a little low.

Like another poster I blew off a couple questions (kept reading & re-reading the list of original colonies til they all looked the same, for example). That's my excuse anyhow.

I am thoroughly impressed with all the high scores. As the test site states, they culled the TOUGHEST questions from the available ones (Umm, thirteen stripes was tough? What they stood for was tough?).

Well then, let's try!

Practice Canadian Citizenship Test!

(I haven't taken it yet so can't vouch for the quality of the site yet.)

OK, I took it with ten questions and ... I did better than I did on the U.S. test! What's up with that, eh? :D
