Since none of the news articles gave a link to where one could take a sample test and be grade, I did a search and found this one offered by '800citizen.org'. You specify your state and select the number of questions (5/10/20/50). Happy to say that I got 49 of 50 within about 10 minutes or so. Try it, I'd love to challenge the LEFTist websites to do better than my fellow FReepers!

I got them all right, but some of them were trick questions. “How many justices are on the Supreme Court?”—should you answer 8 or 9? Both are correct.

At least the 3rd post of same article.

The results should have been correlated with their political party.

Mark for later.

I got two “wrong”

7) Name one problem that led to the Civil War.
A. election freedom
B. economic reasons
C. presidential conflicts
D. human rights

I think both B and D are right — freedom from slavery is a human right, but the “answer” turns out to be B.

32) What are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy?
A. join a civic group and write to a newspaper
B. vote and volunteer as a social worker
C. serve on a jury and join a political party
D. write to a newspaper and speak in the United Nations

This is a pretty weird question. I’d say A or C (and maybe even D.) is participating in our democracy but apparently it’s only A.

[BenLurkin]

You answered 23 of 24 CORRECT! Your score is in the 85th percentile.

How many amendments are there. I was only off by one...

[glenduh]

Was moving along quickly until this. What you say?

16) Name one right only for United States citizens.
A. go to a high school or a university
B. run for federal office
C. serve on a jury
D. live and work in the United States

I met a volunteer teacher at a Christian Sunday school in Canoga Park, Calif., she said she's foreigner, I ask her nationality, "... naturalized U.S. citizen now but native from Mexico." I asked a hyphothetical question, “who would you fight for if war between U.S. and Mexico would eventually erupt today?” She stumbled, nobody asked her that before. I asked, “didn't you swear your allegiance for the U.S.A.? And never again you'll say I'm foreigner.”

Did 50 questions and got 48 right. One of them I dropped asked what one cause of the Civil War was and I chose “Human Rights”.

I helped a Japanese lady prepare for her U.S. citizenship test. Not very many people can name ALL of their elected representatives and name the original 13 colonies.

Heck, I got 49/50, and I’m not even American.
