Same here, which was a little surprising considering I had to guess on a couple of things. I suppose I'm still skilled at making educated guesses. heh

I got citizenship!!

The quotations tripped me up b/c quotations always, always do. I'm an awful English major / Shakespeare scholar, lol.

[wambam]

Uhhh, I'm going to be over here in the ignorant American corner.

It was the justices that got me. I knew Sotamayor. That's it.

ETA: I got probationary.

I had to guess on a few of those too. I knew all the women, plus Thomas, Roberts and Scalia. Once I narrowed those down, I knew which one was Alito and that left me guessing with Kennedy and Breyer.

I attained with distinction only because I vote in every election. I failed miserably at the justices section. I think I got 4 (the women and Clarence Thomas - what can I say, old white guys all look alike to me?)

[Deleted]

I failed most every question. And I wonder why I haven't chosen to be naturalised hahah

[MixedBerryJam]

With distinction ... the justices got me, though. All those old white guys look the same to me!

[wambam]

Also, I thought "last 10 elections" question was unfair for those of us who weren't 18 for all the last 10 elections.

[pollyprissypants]

Citizenship with no distinction.

[blueballoon]

I barely passed. Good thing I'm Canadian.

[Monica Geller]

Citizenship with distinction!

[cheeseandcrackers]

well.. i'm glad when my parents took it i was under 18

[sawyerthedestroyer]

Citizenship attained. I don't know what people look like, most of my news is through listening to NPR.

[dana2006]

Attained. I was naturalized about 10 years ago and the test was a lot easier than this one.

[FastHands]

I only know the justices that have been on Colbert or Stewart. lol

I do, however, get to stay. ::fist pump::

13. denied.

i KNOW i'd be denied canadian citizenship.  it took me 5 minutes to remember the name of your prime minister.

also, btw, what is up with this photo?  ha ha ha.

[fuckyourcouch]

i got with distinction. i only missed 2 of the quotes, and i had to guess on 2 justices. but somehow i got all the justices and all the "match the reference with its meaning" ones correct! woo

[VeryViolet]

I attained citizenship but no distinction.

I am actually surprised at how well I did at the references I got two wrong. The justices were hard. I could name them all but I have no idea what any of them look like. I got the women, Clarence Thomas, and the Chief Justice (both picture and who he is), all the other old men I got confused so I lost 4 points.

[Deleted]

Yay! I get to stay in the country!

Lol.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Thirty faaaaaaaaaaaaaaive. No one's getting rid of me.

[birdistheword]

Yes! I attained citizenship. No distinction though

And I somehow miraculously got all the justices right (which I totally guessed on)!
