I failed a similar test for UK citizenship, but didn't do badly enough to attract hoardes of do-gooders offering me untold benefits, so I'm looking for a new home. Hopefully I've found one - 51 - I'm in with distinction, just.
Does this mean I'll have to work or just get upgraded benefits?

42 - and a lot of that stuff is not included in the citizenship tests I had to take. You don't have to know the names of the supreme court justices, for one thing.

The language requirements are a total joke! I had to take a day off work and travel 80 miles to take the 'tests'. To prove I could read English, I was given a paper and had to read: "When is Columbus day?". I didn't have to *answer* it, just read it. To prove I could write English, I had to write down: "Columbus day is October the" whatever. Again, I didn't have to know it, I was told what to write.

48 I had to really think with some questions. I should have known the answers more quickly and confidently.
Thanks, I enjoy exercising my brain and this is an important arena.

54. Not sure about requiring something like this test for citizenship, but I would like to see a test of basic civics knowledge as a voting requirement. Of course the big problem with that would be who would decide the questions? JW

Scored 26. I'm English, and know nothing about 'merica, what does that show??
Actually, I am genuinely interested in comments

Shows nothing except you do not know a lot about american history.... Send a test on British History and we will all probably fail it also..
