There's a new, longer U.S. citizenship test with more history questions. Can you answer some?

[Mosby]

NBC News Test

I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but I passed (17/20), I kinda zipped though it and didn't think enough about some of the answers.

[doc03]

1. I passed but only got 12. I read one as who we fought in (WWII) but it was the

Cold War. Veitnam War I said it was to get control of its minerals. I guess that was the unwritten history.

[Mosby]

6. I bet a lot of people miss the persian gulf war question

And the questions about different people. I wish NBC had included data about the individual questions.

13. I got the persian gulf war right -

Things that happened when I was alive generally stick.

But I got a bunch of the people wrong. In high school I had history taught by people who were hired to coach. The teaching assignment was an afterthought. Literally. So for 5 decades after high school, I avoided history like the plague.

I'm now taking history, but it's art history - so it doesn't give me much insight as to early American history.

14. I missed the Hamilton question.

Something I should probably have known.

[phylny]

2. I got 17/20 as well.

3. 19/20. Interesting quiz.

4. Who has had the bigliest impact on your life?

* Charlie Kirk
* Charlie Pride
* Charlie Rich
* Charlie the Tuna

Okay, so I missed that one. I still managed 16/20, even with a Friday afternoon snootful. Good thing I was born here.

5. 18/20 I missed the James Madison and American invention question.

7. ahh the Hamilton question got me

9. I got all 20

but I wasn't in love with the answer for when did all men get the right to vote given that we had Jim Crow and all. I do wonder what Trump thinks of some of these questions.

[Igel]

10. 20/20.

Then again, I may teach actually just science because that was my first certification and science teachers aren't always easy to come by, but a year after being hired I got certified to teach social studies. Mostly because the district would pay me $500, about $400 more than the cost of the certification exam, and I wanted the $. (Easy test, scored above 90% on that just like the science certification exam, didn't remember it so I didn't study for it.)

11. 19/20...Madison tripped me up...

[WENSTJDON]

12. Missed 2

I got 18/20

Would you pass the citizenship test?

15. I got all of them, but a few were strange

I selected the light bulb as American innovation, but I did not know some of the others were not.

[Mosby]

16. That seemed like a trivia question to me.

Not a question one would see on an American history or goverment test.

[Jack Valentino]

17. I got 18 out of 20. I didn't know that Benjamin Franklin was the first postmaster-general

of the United States..... I had reasoned that by that time (1789), he would have been too old....


Also mis-answered that Monroe was 5th President of the United States,
which was sort of a 'trick wrong answer'...

[Jspur]

18. I passed and got 16/20

which is not bad but I got tripped up by the questions that dealt with the Pursuit of Happiness, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and the “E Pluribus Unum.”.

19. I was raised in Canada.

I had a brain injury and the soctors gave me a set of tests to test my cognitive abilities. Some of the questions were about US history. They really did not grade me on those questions, knowing that I did not live or go to school down here until college. I had no clue. Even on recent history questions. I could not remember if one answer would have been Clinton or Bush. It was really frustrating for me, considering how rabid I am politically. My mind and memory have not worked well since, even with therapy.
