"U.S. Citizenship Test"

The VoteBook Citizenship Test is based on the actual test given by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. Federal regulations say that persons applying for citizenship must "be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of U.S. history and principles of government."

The main difference between this test and the real test is that this is a multiple choice exam. Also, in the real test, the examiner gets to pick the 10 questions that will be asked, so they aren't really random. In the online VoteBook test, the computer randomly selects the 10 questions.

For fun, I took the test and it said:

"You have completed the VoteBook Citizenship Test. Your score was 9 out of 10. Congratulations! You are qualified to be a U.S. citizen!"

Excellent news! Although, being the informed student of American history that I am, I know that both legal rights, Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis already apply to me. As a result, I'll never actually have to take the real test. But I can live with that. I never really liked tests anyway. :)
