very long test and I'm emberssed to say I missed 4bajajudy - 11-21-2012 at 12:25 PM
Funny you should bring this up. A few weeks back I was checking on one of our wholesale customers and asked her if she wanted any Almanacs. She
looked at it and asked me, "what exactly is an almanac? I just took the citizenship test and one of the questions was about Benjamin Franklin's
"Poor Richard's Almanac"........
I was impressed. Of course, I could not answer her question.
With the help of the American Heritage Dictionary, I discovered the following:
NOUN:
1-An annual publication including calendars with weather forecasts, astronomical information, tide tables, and other related tabular information.
2-A usually annual reference book composed of various lists, tables, and often brief articles relating to a particular field or many general
fields.
So to REALLY go off topic.....wonder why they called the map book an almanac.Hook - 11-21-2012 at 12:35 PM
I didnt have a question about his almanac. Maybe the test changes?
There was one Ben Franklin question but it was about his employment by the government.DENNIS - 11-21-2012 at 12:36 PM
WOW.......27 ammendments? Missed that one.
96 questions? Missed that part too. I quit at 15.....or so.vgabndo - 11-21-2012 at 01:19 PM
Yeah Hook, that one got me too. I plugged in the ratification date! I also stopped at 23 Amendments. 94/96, I get to stay, and vote with some
knowledge of what I'm doing. bajajudy - 11-21-2012 at 02:31 PM

Maybe she saw it when she was just studying for the test....plumkell - 11-21-2012 at 04:44 PM
I missed five. Timo1 - 11-21-2012 at 05:12 PM
7 wrong but I'm a dumb Canadianvgabndo - 11-21-2012 at 06:03 PM
I suspect that the questions vary. Back when I ripped-off the VA by attending the Bill Wade School of Broadcasting in San Diego, the 1st. Class
Radiotelephone Operator's License tests were about 5, but they all had the SAME KEY. We memorized a poem, part of which went"...Can An Endless Era
Come Down Boom" the letter answers to the multiple choice questions.
Good Job Tim, so far, the results are WAY above the American average.Bob H - 11-22-2012 at 10:10 AM
OK, it is slow.... I stopped after answering 25 of them correctly. They seem simple enough.

Guess I did okay for a Canadian. I got 78 %. It would be interesting to see how many of my American friends could do that well on a similar
Canadian test.DENNIS - 11-22-2012 at 12:05 PM

Well, being the originators at MANY (but not all) things related to a true democracy does make for universal inspection and memorability. That
distinction does belong to the United States.
Some would day DID belong to the United States, these days............
I imagine we dont study the who, when, and where of democracy in other countries because it IS significant that the US created much of this model for
the world, at large. If it had been created in Canada or even Myanmar, we probably would have a better understanding of the civics of that country.
It's the model that's studied.
Or, if your struggles for democracy had taken the form of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, we might know more.
The people now referred to as Americans were the first to fire the "shot heard 'round the world". It's not surprising that many other peoples heard
it.
As far as having a knowledge of some of our political leaders; unfortunately, our leaders do have a way of pushing themselves around in the world.
How did you acquire so much knowledge of American civics and history as a Canadian? Was it taught to you in a Canadian school?wessongroup - 11-22-2012 at 06:43 PM
Didn't think it was necessary anymore --- testing that isBarry A. - 11-22-2012 at 06:59 PM
The "test" just quit on it's own at question 25----would no longer advance to the next question---------I had missed two at that time. (how many
amendments, and one other that I cannot remember.)

I gotta agree with Fez on this one, some of the questions are so stupid we should kick out the people that wrote them.TMW - 11-23-2012 at 10:33 AM

Same here it quit at 25 and I didn't miss any up to there. There was a couple I had to think hard about.
Everyone did so well on this quiz, I suspect some folks took it and haven't honestly reported their scores!
Yes, there is a lot of internet chatter about what poor, or commercial formatting was used to make this quiz so time-consuming to complete.Retireded - 11-23-2012 at 03:30 PM
