I thought this would be a piece of cake for me. I am a US citizen, born and raised here. It wasn't all that easy.
I'm just wondering how many myLot(ers) will pass this test. We all love to talk about politics, but what do we really know about our country? I am sure that I used to know more than I do now. When you leave school, you just seem to forget a lot of things. On the other hand, I am sometimes surprised at what I remember!
I will tell you that I scored 95% on the test. If there were no multiple choices, I am not sure I would have passed it at all! lol
Want to try it, too? The link to the test is:

Try it out and post your score. Good or bad, don't fudge it! Thanks for participating!

Oops! You really were behind the door during history class, weren't you? lol Just kidding. It's harder than you would think. Just imagine if you didn't have multiple choices to pick from! Thanks for taking it! :)

I got 75%. The test said, "Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.". I'm disappointed in myself; I've always considered myself a political animal of sorts, not to mention an activist. I thought my score would be at least an 90%!

Don't feel bad! I feel the same way you do; but sometimes we get caught up in the here and now and forget the history of our interests. Seventy-five percent is still good! You still got most of them. That's great! Thank you for taking the test!

I scored a 90%. After reviewing my answers, I realized I misread one of the questions. I missed the question about who becomes president after the President and Vice President are out. I also missed the one about who was president during World War 1. Though, I misread and believed it was World War 2. I'd have been right if only I read the question correctly.
It wasn't hard, really. Shame some natural born citizens can't even pass it.

lol No, you won't be deported! I'm afraid if they started doing that, we'd all have to go! lol Thanks for taking the test. It makes you think, doesn't it...just how much we either forgot, or how much we never knew!

O lord..lol..i only got a 65 %..lol..I forgot a lot of the history on our country. But then again, when i was in high school, i done good just to pass my history class. At that time, it was boring to me. So like i said, i done good just to pass the class..lol
