I scored a perfect 12000 points on this test.
Ya but are you not a state trooper or an MP or something similar.

:woot:  12000

The 1000 point question under Rights ("What is the most important right") seems kind of disingenuous to me.  All the rights enumerated under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are important.  They all tie together in one way or another.

Yea, I said Freedom of Speech. But it was Voting... 

Like you said, they're all important. They should change the question.

OMG, my mom has to take this citizenship test in the next few months. (remember my post about my 10th year here?) I tested her and she only scored a 5600. I was disgusted with her.  :angel: ^^!

The Flag:

Total Score: Full score of 3000.
Wrong: None

U.S History:

Total Score: 1800
Wrong: 600 point (Who main writer of Declaration of Ind.)

U.S Govt.

Total Score: 1400
Wrong: 800 point (Members of house of representatives)

U.S Rights

Total Score: 1000
Wrong: 1000 (Most important right)

I think that last question is not fair. It is more opinionated which right is the most important, and in my opinion it cannot really be dictated by the government setting the test. In Australia, voting is compulsory, so you may see where I am coming from though.

Since I am Aussie, and my total score was 7200, I was quite happy with this :)

I got 10,000 -..... and i'm Aussie!!!!! And i think i guessed just about all of them, using key words i picked up form the international news to answer them. And sure enough i think it worked :)

Somehow i don't think i deserve the credit for that score... :D, as if i did it again, i'm sure i would get a different score. I found the easier questions harder for some reason, i got all the 1000 point ones.

I got 10400 (missed the number of Reps to vote or something, 435 and not 100) but I feel like a jerk! A lot of non-USians know our stuff and on that Aussie test, the only one I knew was the flag colors and that's cuz I watch the Olympics! I'm so selfish...

I got 6800, mostly because I don't know ANYTHING about our government, nor do I care to :P :LOL:
