This popped up on MSN when I opened the internet this morning. I enjoyed it. Hopefully some of you will too.

Dunno if that's any good or not (for a non-american).

I got 85% correct. According to the blurb for my results I know more about America than most Americans.

Only 30% correct. I've never been to much into history or political sciences or even visited the US, so I'm glad about the few correct answers I had. A couple of them I actually knew without having to guess.

I got a 65% I was LOUSY in History. Though, a few of the questions, the correct answer was the other answer that I was debating.

No problem for me. Helped my wife study for it. She passed and she & daughter are both citizens now.

I got 60%...not bad considering I've never been to America or studied American history.

80 percent, but I still sucked. I had to guess on most.

I don't see how some of these questions are relevant when you're willing to become an American citizen.
