Here’s a link to the test given to those seeking citizenship in the US.
I got 100%. I get to stay. Good luck!
(I’ll post more difficult tests in the future.)

Like this one. Much more challenging.
I got 48 out of 54.
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
The latest radio ad to hit New Hampshire is pushing the Renewable Energy and Job creation act. (HR 6049) The bill was sponsored by Charles Rangel (D-NY). **Warning** , **Warning** but failed to get through the Senate.
>The premise of the ad is that our Senators are giving money to big oil.
>Profits by big oil are bad (even though the government makes more from the same oil in taxes)
>Creating renewable energy instead of fossil fuel energy is good, and it will create jobs ‘for the middle class.” (Like Shaheen’s woodchuck ethanol–I mean wood-chip ethanol. It’ll save us all, hallelujah)
While I wouldn’t give money to “big oil” the Democrats just gave at least 17 billion in the farm bill to people who don’t actually do any farming, so I’m not sure they are in any position to complain.
