"Let me in-let me in-immigration man"

This link will take you to a sample test given to applicants for US Citizenship. I got an 85 - one wrong because I didn't read carefully, and two because I simply didn't know the answer.

I got a 90%. Had no idea on the form used to apply for citizenship and....got the year wrong for the Declaration of Independence, embarrassingly enough.

I got a 90% too. Didn't know the form and I hate to say it but I wasn't sure which states were the original 13.

Almost got the form question right on a guess though, but I changed my answer before submitting.

95%. Got 1 wrong.

Confused the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution.

Don't want to say any more for fear of giving clues.

Well, I got 95%-missed the incredibly obscure #8. A couple of good guesses, like the form to apply for naturalization (how can this be relevent to citizenship-have they no clerks to give out the proper form? You have to understand their byzantine, buearucratic processes to become a real American?)

And I'm Canadian-so despite my high score, I won't be applying for admission to the states anytime soon.

Holy crap! How'd I do that??? I guessed on at least 4 of them. I had no freaking clue how many ammendments there are or which ammendment did not protect voting rights.

The big clue on the original 13 states? Kentucky. It is sooo not one of the original states!

I got an 85% [so I guess I get to stay!]. Guessed on the INS form [that one would be a gimme for a real applicant], also guessed on the 'voting rights amendment'. The other one is too embarrassing. I thought it was a trick question and ended up tricking myself! 'Kentucky' was the final clue that got me through the original 13 question! Whew!
