No, really, are you?

Take this test from MS NBC.

Funny thing…  most people are probably not qualified! :-)

0-20%: Maybe you’re still thinking too much about the Old Country.

25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn’t going to impress those nice immigration folks.

45-60%: Not too bad, but you really need to break out the civics books again — word is, the INS is looking for an 80 percent score.

65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.

85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)

I’ll be honest with you, I scored 30%.  That’s not good AT ALL!  I need to hit up history books now.

Actually, I’ve been planning on reviewing U.S. history for a while and I think this should serve as my que to do so :-)
