Too easy. 11 of 11 correct.
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
10 out of 11 (being Canadian I think that's alright!)... missed the number of amendments.
9 out of 11 - I think that still qualifies me as a citizen.

About 10 years ago I was dating a guy. He and his family were legal aliens seeking citizenship. They'd all been in the U.S. for 15 years, but his parents could hardly speak english. His mom answered every question with "George Washington", but the immigration official said "no, say ___. The answer is ___." and then he'd mark that she got enough right.
Way too easy... are those a real sample?

10 out of 11. I got the WWII allies question wrong. That one was kinda tricky though.
I thought that there would have been a lot harder questions. Something like “What department of the government investigates counterfeit charges.” Or “What amendment was appealed by another amendment and when?"

9/11 - stupid second guessing myself about the number of Supreme Court Justices....stupid, stupid, stupid.....
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
I saw one years ago that asked what INS form was required to be filed when entering the country. I think these questions are from the study guide.

11/11 right. I wasn't entitrely confident on all my answers but I must have remembered them in the back of my head.
11 of 11.
All questions my wife could have easily answered with the same score.

11/11
Almost missed WWII allies question, but caught it while double checking. Remember you little leaguers out there, always check your answers before turning in your test
No one else in my house has been able to score above a 6
11/11, but the WWII allies question left a little to be desired. Didn't Italy switch sides after the allied invasion and overthrow of Mussolini?
See that one confused me too.
I will not admit to what score i got- lets just say, i wouldnt be allowed to be a citizen

Exactly. They need to specify when during the war, since countries changed sides so much during that time, or immediately after.
Either that, or pick a more clear-cut World War II question.

9/11- got caught on the number of amendments and anthem
When did I go from Luke Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

7/11... so am I in the American Clube now?
Also.. the WWII question wasn't that tricky... you only had to remember that Italy was part of the Axis... and there was only one option without Italy.
9/11
I missed the number of amendments and date of the constitution.
I remembered Italy being axis too and used that to eliminate the other answers.
Born in FL. Not taking some stinkin' test.
I mean, really, I've had an American e-du-ca-tion..... what more do I need? Constitutional amendments, what are those??
The best part about visiting Florida is that it is so close to the US.

True. I did not find that question to be difficult. I got 10/11 correct. I missed the number of amendments question. Selected 23 instead of 27. I was worried that I got the 49th state question wrong too (between Alaska and Hawaii).
