I wonder whether knowing these factoids of American History have any relationship to what should be the more central purpose of granting or refusing US Citizenship. Please note that the online test you are seeing is not the way prospective new citizens are tested. They are given the questions orally and are NOT given the multiple choice possibilities but must answer with no choices given. So those of you who got so many correct, how would you have done if you only heard the questions and had to come up with the answer as a fill in the blank? The entire list of 100 questions, with correct answers which will be accepted on the oral exam is seen at
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Office%20...tions/100q.pdf
The examiner selects 10 questions and you must get 6 correct. I cannot find any rule on how the questions are selected, random number generation or can the examiner pick the questions s/he likes which obviously would seem unfair as there are very easy and very tough ones.
