I passed, but with 10000. I take issue with the question of which is our most important right - voting, bearing arms, or free speech - because the RTBA guarantees we have the ability to preserve the other two.

I believe there is a very, very good reason that the right to free speech is guaranteed in the FIRST amendment!!

FYI: Here's the entire set of 100 questions from which the test is derived.

Of course this is not anywhere near as tough as the real US Citizenship test. This is just to get a feel for how well people know some of the most basic information. They teach all this stuff to kids in school.
I have to admit that I hesitated a little when answering the "most important right" question. Like some of you said, all of them are very important. I guess their thinking is that if you have no say in what your government does, then you are not truly a government of the people.

Just an FYI. Here is a question, along with the answer, from the test linked by Mr Mxy. The actual Citizenship test.

87. What is the most important right granted to U.S. citizens?
The right to vote

I got all of the questions right on this test, woot!

I got to take the ACTUAL citizen ship test in my Political Science class at the beginning of the school year. I made like a 70% on it, lol. There are some really hard questions on it too. Its crazy.

made 120000 points!

I was surprised at some of the questions. Why should someone need to know how many stripes there are to our flag?

seems a little dumb, I personally would have emphasized the laws of the land more - such as the bill of rights, the constitution, and so on. but as said by Randy, this was a "easy" test.
