Oh, the things you find out wandering around DU.   :thatsright:

A friend use to use ten questions from this test as a warm up exercise / ice breaker years ago.  He would go through the correct answers and have the people score their own, then would say anyone who missed more than four would be deported.  Some people got real upset.   :whistling:

But I digress, on to the fun.

Could you pass the citizenship test?
Once you've gone through the paperwork for naturalization, you have to have your Big Interview before you can take the oath.

Here's the study page for the big day:

https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learners/study-test

And here are the 100 questions they can ask (they will ask 10 of them, and you have to get 6 right):

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Office%20of%20Citizenship/Citizenship%20Resource%20Center%20Site/Publications/100q.pdf

This could be a bar game, or party fun. Print them out and pass them around-- see how many of us can pass the test.

And the replies go pretty much as one might expect when this one pops up.

13. I begin my class school year giving my students this test all 100 questions

and I end the school year giving the same test.

Hopefully at the end, my students will be able to answer all 100 of them correctly

I teach 8th grade Civics

Maybe fluency and skill in the English language is asking a bit much of DUpipo, but note the verb tenses Pam used:

The indicative present tense means she has done this and continues to do so. If it's something imagines doing in the future she would use the word "could" or "should".

And then she posts this muddle:

The present indicative "know" suggests she has done this, but the subjunctive "I would bet" and conditional "could answer" means she has never done this. Otherwise she would use past indicative, something like "usually ##% were able to answer".

IOW, Pam's talking hypothetically, not of experience. Or should review 3rd and 4th Grade English.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

So 15% would just give up part way through the test?
