Would you pass the test?
McALLEN — If the new U.S. citizenship test were administered as a pop quiz, there would be a lot fewer citizens. The Monitor administered an informal sample test of 10 questions taken from a new citizenship test to 62 obliging U.S. citizens in the Rio Grande Valley. More than half of them failed a 10-question sample test — that is, they could not answer even six of the questions correctly
Take an unofficial Quiz
I scored 100%. (There is one question that asks who is the governor of the state---since this test was given in Texas, you may or may not know who that is)

For years, these questions have been selected from among the following list of 100. How would you do? Many, you will find simple. Others are not so easy. In all cases, the answer USCIS wants to hear is given.

For what it's worth, I've found no less than 10 errors in the INS quiz. No kidding. Some of them:
#11-12. We fought Great Britian, not England alone, in the War of Independence, which wasn't really a revolution.
#37. The primary Constitutional duty of the Supreme Court is to judge cases, not (Marbury v. Madison) to interpret laws.
#43 Rehnquist is no longer Chief Justice.
#64, #87, #84, #76. Government acknowledges rights, but does not grant them--if it can grant them, it can take them away. Most important right is that to life.
#86. The benefit of citizenship is the protection of U.S. laws primarily, not government jobs & such.
#79. The 13th Amendment freed slaves, not President Lincoln. #69 nor did the Proclamation do so.
#78. We are a republic, not a democracy.
#75. The original 13 states are no longer called "colonies," but have been "free & independent states" since 1776.
