In order to become a US citizen, immigrants must pass the Naturalization Test. American citizenship bestows the right to vote, improves the likelihood of family members living in other countries to come and live in the US, gives eligibility for federal jobs, and can be a way to demonstrate loyalty to the US. Applicants must get 6 answers out of 10 in an oral exam to pass the test. According to US Citizenship and Immigration services, 92 percent of applicants pass this test.
You must get 58 or more of these test questions correct in order to pass.

It was the question about which power belongs to the states.
I answered raise an army, because I was thinking that the states can have militias with officers from the states, but that the President can assume control in times of war.
Their answer was to provide schooling and education. I didn't realize that that was a "power," but I should have used process of elimination to arrive at that answer.

I got 92 out of 96, 96%.

Cranky. I do too.
FWIW (and that ain’t much), the OldPossum scored 100%.
I know the feeling.
The questions are designed so that everybody can pass the test. It would require a true idiot to fail this test.
