Questions part of the application for US citizenship

Sundae · 09-28-2011, 02:47 PM

I got 66.7%
Really should have been higher, I muffed some I do know.

The response gently suggested I need more practice.
Had I been intending to apply I certainly would have had more practice...

That's what it told me when I missed only 1, so don't feel bad.

It surprised me that some questions were so detailed... % obesity (?)
but then I was pleased that some other questions were right on point about our government.

The response to me was that I should consider moving to Canada.

2) There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them.
A. Citizens sixteen (16) and older (can vote).
B. A female citizen of any race (can vote).
C. A citizen of any race (can vote).
D. You don't have to pay (a poll tax) to vote.
Your answer was wrong. The correct answer is D .

29/30

I don't get that one, I remember getting it wrong and thinking wtf. What's the 19th Amendment then? The 15th?

Lamplighter · 10-12-2011, 01:27 PM

A female citizen - but she has to be "old enough" to vote, regardless of race

infinite monkey · 10-12-2011, 01:30 PM

Oh, I see. Seems more like a logic problem.

I'm curious about why knowing one of the two longest rivers in the US is a necessary question...

I can see how it might reflect one's interest in the US, knowing something like that, but other than students who need to know it for schoolwork, local DNR or those river's operators et al., that's largely a Jeopardy Daily Double question for most US folk, even if they do know it.

I missed one question because of a number reversal. What does it say about my score of 49/50?

I got 73% I thought that was ok considering I don't know much about my home state of Alabama.

wolf · 10-26-2011, 08:14 PM

I thought it was rather strange that there were exactly zero questions regarding my home state, even though they warned me about them.
