Could you pass the test to become a U.S. citizen? Newsweek asked 1000 citizens to take this test and apparently about 38% failed the test. There are a few tough questions that even if you learned them once in school there's not much reason to remember now. So from that perspective I'm happy that at least 62% of us passed this test! I got about 80 to 90% of the questions right, being a history nerd. What happens if you take the test yourself? Let me know how you did in the comments below!
