Could you pass a US citizenship test?

In order to become a US citizen, immigrants must pass the Naturalization Test. American citizenship bestows the right to vote, improves the likelihood of family members living in other countries to come and live in the US, gives eligibility for federal jobs, and can be a way to demonstrate loyalty to the US. Applicants must get 6 answers out of 10 in an oral exam to pass the test. According to US Citizenship and Immigration services, 92 percent of applicants pass this test.

You must get 58 or more of these test questions correct in order to pass.

Definitely a clickfest. Seeing the questions was what interested me. Some are facts some are meme's.

And I went through school to learn about my country and state. Don't need to go through all that all over again

Now the people that are trying to become citizens have the advantage of having studied for such an exam. Point us to the page where we can also study for a full year prior to taking the test and then I'll give you my test-results
