Could you pass a US citizenship test?

As one who teaches high school, I can assure you the results would be abysmal on a VERY good day.

I enjoyed it as a diversion earlier today, scored almost 100% -- I too had the wrong year the Constitution was approved, but wondered to work colleagues later how high school (or college) students today would do as I find many of them abysmally shallow (or clueless) when it comes to civics, American history, or topics such as the Federalist Papers, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence etc...

91 out of 96. I will admit that several answers were lucky guesses. Though some of the 5 I did get wrong, I should have known.

I missed the same question. Dates, to me, aren't nearly as important as content. Unfortunately most citizens don't know either.

I got 92 correct. And I'm a foreigner! Do I get a prize? If so, I claim an hour with Kevin Slater.

I doubt he would be any help, he is a crack head drug dealing pimp. Also, American History was always a favorite subject of mine... I do own Ken Burns Civil War...

I hated history in school Math was always my favorite subject I got a D in history from junior high all through high school.

This Conservative dumb-ass scored 96 of 96. And the part about when the Constitution was written I keep in mind by remembering 7-11. In the 7th month of 1776 we got the Declaration of Independence. Eleven years later we got a Constitution. In the interim, we had the Articles of Confederation.
