      19/20 - I can't even imagine what the general public score would be.

        1. I missed the 14th amendment.

          18/20.

          I don’t want to say what I missed as it helps people who take the test after me.

          If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

            I got only 13/20. Turns out I have no clue what founding fathers are famous for.

              I think that's a pretty good score, Klaus. I doubt many of us could fare as well for German history.

                I'm not sure what I expected, but the questions did seem a little narrowly focused on that.

                  13 out of 20? Yeah not bad. I bet if everyone in this country took the test the average score would be like a 7.

                      1. @Mik "pointed" me in the right direction on one of them. And I admit I took a couple of guesses on others (but got them right). So, a realistic score just on knowedge was probably a 15 or so.

                          1. I always did well on open book tests. You people suck at googling.

                              The full set of all 128 questions:
                              https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/crc/M_1778LG.pdf

                              Apparently the new test was already developed back in 2020, but will only start to be administered next month.

                              And unlike the example presented in the news article, the test will be given orally in person with the applicant expected to answer in free form, not multiple choice (same as before).

                                They give you the answer key as a study sheet. It's a feat of short term memory that virtually everybody passes.

                                    I got that one, but missed the question about Madison and the Federal Papers.
