95% - Got the number of Constitutional amendments wrong - 27 instead of 23. Other than that, not too hard. Thankfully, they still teach most of this stuff in public school (or did back in the early 90’s, anyway).

I got 100% as well, but I think they changed the test, because there is nothing about New York in it. Maybe too many people got that question wrong, and MSM dumbed it down for their readers.

100%.

As for the “nuance” and “loving” the MSM, these are the very types of questions those wishing to become naturalized citizens have to answer. This wasn’t some random quiz put together by some “liberal” reporter at MSNBC.

100% and I’m just a lowly teenager.
(I did just finish watching the HBO Miniseries “John Adams” so I knew about NY)
I think they should make the citizenship test harder and require EVERYONE (with the exception of the disabled of course) to pass this in order to vote.

Well, Bwana crows because Bwana scored 100%…and he has to say regarding question five:

____________
Which of the following is NOT a right outlined in the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence?

- Life
-Liberty
-Right to bear arms
-Pursuit of Happiness
______________

I guess I overlooked the “nuance” here…

I think the “test” asks too many simple facts and not enough about the values and ideals that should bind us together as Americans.

Yes, because we are well endowed (except for maybe Gerry Connolly) by our creator - Vger.

95%, missing on the number of amendments (I put 23 instead of 27.) If Jay Leno did this on his little Jaywalking skit, I think a true representative sample would not have gotten more than 30% of the questions right. Tell me I am wrong here… I’d love to be. But I doubt it.

85%…also got Senate term wrong, number of Representative wrong, and the first words of the Constitution…was thinking We The People was the Declaration of Independence. Eh, that’s what I get for learning this stuff in middle school.

95%. I second guessed myself on the line of presidential succession. I should’ve gone with my gut.

My wife scored a 90%! I was pleasantly surprised to that find out. She got the term of Senators and the number of representatives wrong.

95%.

Missed the one “What are the first words of the Constitution?” Thought it asked for the first words in the Declaration of Independence.

90%

Didn’t know Maine wasn’t one of the 13 original colonies, and said 17 instead of 27 amendments. Oops.
