Who said the USC test was hard, or is it difficult? Wife and I went over the questions twice on our drive over, she answered the first six correctly that took about a minute. What was difficult was compiling and showing all that evidence that we were married. Sure if you reviewed all the questions and answers on the UK test, wouldn't be all that difficult.

British 71% Failed

Interesting questions

Me too

There are some questions on there that you would not know if you had not looked it up. Number of Muslims in 1980 was one. Not that many compared to a lot now and hardly any 20 years earlier. You are only going to know the percentages if you look them up.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the links to all these different citizenship tests! :thumbs:

I had fun taking such tests, indeed! :star:

Ok...So here are my results.....

I'm a Dual American/Canadian Citizen..... :star:

Australian Test:

(Couldn't get that to load properly on my computer..have to try again...any other links too?)

UK Test:

Questions answered correctly: 12 out of 24 (50%) (I need to study harder....lol...)

Time taken: 01 minutes 57 seconds

Fun Ant Fact: My parents had a UK passport to immigrate to Canada with, and I was noted in it as a minor....So am I part British?...lol.....

Canadian Test (Ontario, 20 questions):

The time you spent was 1 minute and 14 seconds.

You answered correctly 17 out of 20 questions. Your score is (85%)

Fun Ant Fact: My parents had to take the Canadian citizenship test....but I didn't have to..as I was a minor back then...

Nevertheless, I became a Canadian citizen through naturalization...But minus the test!...lol....I learned the rest of the stuff in school instead..

American/US Test:

Questions answered correctly: 6 out of 6 oral (they stopped asking after 6..lol..), 1 oral sentence, 1 written sentence...(100%)

Time taken: 1-5 minutes

Fun Ant Fact: I became an American citizen through naturalization last year....

My husband (the natural-born USC) studied with me....We both scored the same while studying.....

Hmm...Anyone else want to post more countries' citizenship tests?....

Extra question: If you could be a citizen of any country in the world...Which country(ies) would you pick?

Happy citizenship testing, everyone! Good luck on your immigration/citizenship journeys too!

Ant
