When (or if) new immigrants finish the labyrinth leading to citizenship, there’s one last obstacle facing them that natural born citizens never have to think about: the Naturalization Test. You may think you had a lot on the line in your high school algebra final, but think of what these people have to face… one test, pass or fail, for all the tangible and intangible benefits of US citizenship for themselves and their families for the rest of their lives. No stress!
How would you do if you had to take that test? Could you make the grade if citizenship weren’t your birthright, but something you had to earn? The Christian Science Monitor gives you the chance to find out by actually taking the US Citizenship test.
The actual test consists of 10 questions drawn from a pool of 100 possibles. Applicants must get 6 answers out of 10 in an oral exam to pass the test. According to US Citizenship and Immigration services, 92 percent of applicants pass. The Christian Science Monitor test has 96 of the possible questions, meaning you must get 58 or more correct in order to pass. We gave the test to one of the seditious left-wing moochers here at the shop who got 92 out of 96 correct for a whopping 96%. Can you do better? Can you do well enough to stay in the country?
Bonus points if you give the test to some of your Tea Partier friends!
