Respondents 65 and older scored the best (74 percent), while only 19 percent of test-takers 45 and younger passed

The survey, released this month by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, sampled 1,000 American adults and was modeled after the test taken by immigrants in the process of naturalization.
Respondents 65 and older scored the best (74 percent), while only 19 percent of test-takers 45 and younger passed. The survey asks about everything from important dates to historical figures and current events
I know there are a lot of stupid people out there but I am curious where and how they got this sample pool. This seems pretty low....
Practice Test

Took that test to become a citizen a few months back, it's actually pretty embarrassing how easy it is.
But I'm not complaining

But we pass where it counts: we were actually born here.

95%, I clicked on 23 amendments as opposed to 27. Idk how someone could struggle too much with this. Does it say what grade is a pass?

19% passing actually seems high to me

Just took the practice test. Perfect score.
If nearly half of all citizens can't pass that pathetically easy quiz, then we need to scrap public education in this country and start over.

To be fair, a lot of americans aren't citizens.
Posted on 10/15/18 at 1:16 pm to Tigerbait357
Well that practice test is stupid easy and anyone with a 5th grade education could pass it, so maybe we're screwed.

Yet all want to vote. Explains why they always vote for the “cool candidate” as opposed to using common sense for what is best for you and the country.

You’re underestimating how little history and civics the vast majority of people in this country know about.
