I could if I knew I needed to pass to stay in the country and had a day or two to study.

Yeah, but thats not really the point. The point is we dont have to do that so we dont study those topics and we dont know most of the answers and the immigrants who become American citizens in this country really end up knowing more about American History than we do. Not to say I really care, but its kind of funny.

I get what you're saying too. I mean I know the answers when I see them; like, "oh ya, duh". But I would have to study to pass it :)

Well, we all knew the answers in grade school and high school. I'm sure the immigrants forget all of this as soon as they're finished with the test just like the rest of us did.

And this is the same phenomenon that made "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" so popular.

Never mind the fact the adults are trying to pull knowledge they needed in 4th grade and never needed again, and the child actors in the classroom have been given workbooks right before the show "that may cover the topics used in the show".

Well, if they leave the answers right there on the paper, I figure I should get at least 85% right.

Yes, it may have been a more entertaining exercise if the answers weren't printed right there.

I don't have to pass the test I was born here :)
