Can you pass a U.S. citizenship test?

[RugersGR8]

You have to score 30 out of 50 to pass. Wonder if this test has to be printed in other languages besides English?

Seriously. For example:

WHAT IS FREEDOM OF RELIGION?
You can't choose the time you practice your religion.
You must choose a religion.
You can practice any religion, or not practice a religion.
No one can practice religion.

I mean, none of those are accurate.

Edit: Congratulations! You got: 49/50

It's not exactly hard, but the questions are exactly correct in what they ask ot the list of answers they give you. It's just, screwy.

Not too bad, I guess I can stay.

If those are the real questions, they made it a lot easier than when my wife took it in 2006 which was 100 questions.
Like who's your mayor?
Name your senators.
Name your Governor.
Name the 3 branches of the federal government.
and a bunch of civil rights questions.

In 2006 the question they asked twice was
Q. What is the supreme law of the land? A. The U.S. Constitution
Q. What is the constitution? A. The supreme law of the land.

Maybe its not anymore.

They also used to have an English reading and writing test which a lot failed
but you didn't have to take it if you were over 55.

My Grandmother came to the state's back in the 40's after escaping some really bad stuff behind the Iron Curtain. She studied for a long time to prepare to take the test, then took the long boat ride over. She told me stories about the test, and it was no joke back then. I wish she was alive today, as I can't recall any particulars of the test, but I'll tell you this, that lady never missed a single vote on anything, and understood how our government worked, or was supposed to work, better than most kids coming out of high school today. She had a history, writing, reading, and I even think a speech test. Growing up where she did though, she could speak 5 languages, as it was imperative to her survival.

What's funny though, after she passed the test, and got her papers, they filed her name wrong, they inverted her first and middle name, so her legal US name, was not her original name. Stories like that sure make me miss that lady. I was lucky to have the privilege to know her as long and as well as I did, just wish it was longer. :-(

These were "sample" questions from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services naturalization test---not the whole/entire test.

49/50
Got carried away and didn't read one of the questions all the way through. I saw Age, President and clicked on 35 or older. Should have read the entire question.
