7. If you read the first page..
you might have noticed that the test was geared toward naturalization candidates.

I'm curious about starting with all the flag questions. Wassup with that?

Some of the questions were judgmental, like "what's the most important freedom," and I saw at least one typo.

Overall, not bad for a test, though.

#1 - 100 / 93
#2 - 100 / 85
#3 - 96 / 90 == okay, So I wouldn't know which INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen. I can live with that. :)

#3 - 40 / 60 == Damnation!
#4 -100 / 76 == alrighty, now. That's better.

10. "Question #1: Why was President Clinton impeached?"
"Correct Answer: He provided false testimony to a grand jury and obstructed justice related to the Paula Jones case."

BULLSHIT!

The correct answer is that the Republican Congress would have got him if he had used the wrong fork for his salad at a state dinner. Clinton was impeached simply because he was a Democrat.

Otherwise:

#1 - 96%
#2 - 100%
#3 - 91%
#4 - 96%

Advanced
#1 - 60%
#2 - 80%
#3 - 40% (I don't know dates)
#4 - 80%
#5 - 80%
