I got 45/50 (need 30 to pass). Not bad for a citizen of America's hat!

[Velar Fricative]

50/50! Do we kick every American off this board if they didn't get a perfect score?

[Velar Fricative]

Now post one for Canada and see how all the Americans do lol.

I'd fail. Unless it was about polar bears.

[josieposy]

47. I goofed on a few.

50/50 here too, my AP Government teacher would be proud.

Honorary citizenship for oreos and actual Oreos!

That test was like taking the Constitution test all over again, but with a question about income taxes thrown in.

Same. I misread a couple because I was working and quizzing at the same time.

*note to self: do not multitask*

[penguingrrl]

50/50! I would guess one about Canada involves moose and maple syrup? Because otherwise I'm failing lol!

Unless there's a question about the Toronto mayor I will fail.

Here's one for Canada (simulation test, 20 questions).

I got 15/20. Yay, I passed!

[ttt]

50/50 woohoo!

[cville]

50/50. 'MURICA, fuck yeah.

[pixy0stix]

50/50

Like any true American, my attention span began to wander during the test. Too many questions.

 I failed   10/20. And honestly, I only got those out of luck. Sorry Canadian friends  

[downtoearth]

I got 48/50. Seems reasonable. I should have looked closer to see which ones I missed.

Another Canadian who got 45/50 here.  A couple were stupid mistakes and some were just things that I have no reason to know.

This is a practice Canadian Citizenship Test.  You can choose how many questions to answer.

Ohshit.  I shouldn't even be allowed to visit.  

[josieposy]

I got a 40% on the Canadian test and most of those were guesses.

8/20

If only there had been a question about polar bears!

[twotrue]

46/50 . I need to remember to read all the answers before clicking. :-p

[anastasia517]

To be fair, some of the Canadian questions on that list were pretty hard. A lot were based on really old Canadian history.

11/20 FAIL 

Well...I guess I should pack my bags and move down south. 

[saz]

I failed the Canadian one 6/20.. and I think most of those were lucky guesses.

This is what did me in. 

I'm good with current government and taxes, etc. But I was never really taught much regarding the settlement of Canada.

Yep.  When I looked at other citizenship questions about current government, geography, the Charter, etc I did better.  Some of the really old, settlement level stuff I completely blanked on because that's Grade 7 & 8 stuff.

If it makes you feel better I'm supposedly qualified to teach history.  Or maybe that will make things worse haha. I did have to review a lot of the stuff I taught in Grade 8 history while I was student teaching it, but a lot of that stuff is Grade 7 level and not touched on afterwards so it's been a while.

[ajj]

Dang it, I only got 43/50. Some because I second guessed myself. I should have went with my gut.

I was in french immersion for grade 7 and 8 (only) and I can't recall what was taught those years. Seems doing social studies in french was a poor idea in terms of long term retention.
