81% moron seems high, but also not that much of a stretch. I got a 100 on that practice and I wouldn’t have needed multiple choice

I have no trouble believing that.

I think you should to pass that test to be allowed to vote. And retake it every 5-10 years in order to keep voting.

I forgot 435 :/

For what it's worth, the April 15th figure is incorrect.

I missed 2...because I have fat fingers, not because I didn't know the answer.

That test was ridiculously easy.

Any citizen who gets less than 19 right should be ashamed.

I got all 20 and there was and the only one I had to really think about was trying to remember who President during WWI

Wrong!!! I passed my US Citizenship Test with ease. They asked where I was born, I pointed to my birth certificate...100%.

I thought Men had to register for Selective Service at 18. Not between 18 and 26. That one threw me off. And I honestly didn't know the Senate was 6yr terms. I thought it was 4.

This question is missleading. "What group of people was taken to America and sold as slaves?" The were bought as slaves first then sold in the new world.
