I missed the one on the cause of the civil war by overthinking it, I knew it was about economics, but I figured it was going to say human rights.

48/50, I misread the judicial branch as legislative, and got thrown off by one of the Constitution questions about defining who can vote. As I saw it, two were right so I had to guess. Derp.

OK I only did 20 questions but I got 16 correct. I attribute most of my success to the West Wing. If the President and the Vice President can no longer fulfil their roles in office who becomes head of state? Yup. John Goodman, that's who.

EDIT: Australian by the way.

I, a US citizen, took it with 10 questions and got 8/10. Most of the questions seemed fair and reasonable, but some were pretty stupid. One should know who can vote in the US, for instance, sure, but no one needs to know exactly which of all those qualifications was an amendment. Stuff like that was kind of annoying; few US citizens know or care, because most US citizens simply don't need to, so why would you need to know it to become a citizen?

I got 5/5 :p

The questions seemed reasonably easy to me, though I'm not sure how many citizens know the number of House members or the federal government's powers.

18/20, but one question was fucking stupid.

[small]Name one problem that led to the Civil War.
A. election freedom
B. human rights
C. states' rights
D. presidential conflicts[/small]

I answered B, which is the obvious right answer, but apparently the answer is C.
Because, you know, slaves < states.
That's because you didn't read the question correctly, it asked what LEAD to the Civil War, as the main reason for the Civil War was the issue of state's rights. Freeing the slaves came later into the war with the Emancipation Proclamation which helped the Union win the war by allowing African Americans into their military ranks, which actually became a fairly powerful force that humiliated and devastated the Confederacy. So the answer is C.

I got %76 and I'm a 15 year old Canadian boy, but I feel like I really should have gotten a better score then that, I didn't know alot of them.

Missed the one about the Federalist Papers; otherwise, my public schooling has done its job.

Edit: That was just a 10-question one, I'll go back and do a longer test.

Aaaaaand just missed one again. Something about courts and post offices.

This was absolute shit.

First, it was really easy. Second, I got 17 out of 20 (I put it up to 20 to be similar to the UK one)

The kicker...
You need 60% to pass, I got 85% and the recommendation it gave me, and I quote directly "You may need more practice!"

Yes. The exclamation point was there.

This is all I've learned from tv and the internet. And common sense I suppose.

RESULT:
You need 60% to pass the test.
You answered correctly 34 out of 50 questions. Your score is 68%.

Me so sad :< Guess I won't be going to the US anytime soon (not like I even want to hmph!).
PS: Swedish btw.

US citizen, 10/10; I'm pretty okay with that. My casual interest in history serves me well, it would seem.
