Here's a fun little test for American citizens. It would be interesting to know how others do as well.

10800 points. I missed 1 question ... dog-gone-it! LOL Can't say much more without giving it away. LOLOL The Canadian Gov't. has a website that also gives a test and I usually score higher than my wife and kids. Which reminds me, I need to pursue that and get dual citizenship. The whole border crossing thing between the US and Canada has become quite an ordeal lately. Erring on the side of safety, I know, but it is frustrating.

Thanks for starting my day off with a mental challenge Fred. I always enjoy that.

12000 is perfect, but I'm sure that Andy did better than alot of American citizens!

10,800---I wonder if we missed the same question

thecopperfish · 02-17-2008, 08:43 PM

I missed one, but looking again, the wording is correct for the answer, and had I gone by strict reading (not trying to guess what they meant), I probably would have gotten that one correct as well.

G'day all,
Guess, I'm not ready to become a Yank yet

I got 8800. A couple though where not through knowing the correct answers, just a matter of eliminating the unrealistic.

See how you blokes would do gaining Aussie Citizenship

and I'm damn sure I won't be becoming a Canadian in the near future with only 12 out 20 correct.
And I thought spelling wasn't my strong point at school
