Independence Day Quiz

[islandgal]

Okay let's see how you do on this test. 24 out of 30 is considered a passing grade.
It is reported that 96% of all High School Seniors FAILED. AND, if that's not bad enough, 50+% of all individuals over 50 did too!

Take the test and be surprised at what we/you don't know.

20 of the questions are on the Citizenship Test.

I passed (23 correct), but I think I had an advantage -- I wasn't born here. From what I've seen, people who move into a country know more about the history and rules of their country than those who are native-born.

I got a 26!! Happy 4th to everyone!

[Taltarzac]

Just passed by the skin of my teeth. 24 right.

[Russ_Boston]

passed with 25 but a couple of the amendment questions were difficult and quite frankly not really important. Doesn't really matter what number it is as long as you know it exists. And who cares where the president was born? More important is what state did he make his name in.

[REDCART]

Good Quiz, thanks Islandgal. I got 23. I agree with Redwitch. The native born don't take our history as seriously as we should. --George

I got 30 out of 30 correct. History was my subject.

[cybrgeezer]

29 of 30. And yes, I'm native born.

[Pturner]

I got 28. I missed an amendment question (importation of liquor) and which president was born in Texas.

I was born in the wonderful USA and am fortunate and greatful to be an American. Happy Independence Day, We, the People!

[jojo]

Ditto Pturner - 28 and missed an amendment question and the Texas President birthplace! Had a couple lucky guesses.

[Pats2010]

I managed a somewhat respectable 23 score.

Hope everybody enjoyed their:boom: "Freedom from Europeanism Day":boom:

[uujudy]

I got a 26. I thought the numbers of the amendments were tricky. I also missed the Texas question.
Thanks for sharing the test, Islandgal.

The other test is harder. I got 18 out of 20 on my second attempt and still did not pass?

The citizenship test they use for naturalization looks easier than the Presidents' Day test or the Fourth of July test. Of course, this would be a lot harder if the test taker had a limited grasp of English.

These are the questions and the answers to what I asume is the most recent set of 100 questions. You have to answer 6 out of 10 that they pick out. It is an oral test too.
