Independence Day Quiz

"The 4th of July is the time when we celebrate our nation-- a time to reflect on the freedoms which we believe are not granted by our government, but are self-evident rights for all humankind.  Time for the Independence Day Quiz which asks,  'How much do you really know?'  Every day thousands leave their homelands to settle here in the land of the free.  Before they become citizens they are required to take a citizenship test and score 80%.  Could you pass this test if you took it today?
  
"Our quiz is made up of 20 questions which were once used on the actual citizenship test.  We've added a few curveballs-- The last ten questions may be a bit harder, but a score of around 24 out of 30 is considered a passing grade."



My results: "Your Score is 23. Congratz, you Pass!  You should be proud."

It said I passed, but my score is below 80%.  In fact, it's a little below 77%.  Do I get extra credit for pointing that out?

    I can't believe the one I missed...What is the official language of the US? None...Really?

    I think this statement should be at the bottom of KK's bedtime games.
    Rules...
    "This is not a contest and no prizes will be granted for correct answers"

    Deport me now! I've always experienced test anxiety. There were some that I know I knew, but second guessed myself with other answers.

    Jed, Bedtime Games is an irregular 'sport'... prizes have been awarded for incorrect answers.

    I got 23 and passed. I got 77% on the thirty questions, but 2 of them I had the right answer, but for some reason changed my mind.

    I got 26. Misread the term length of the House and acciddentally answered for the Senate or I would have had 90%.

    I got 24. The term limits got me. AND, the first President. Sheesh.

    I should say I misread the Vice President question. Took it again and got 28. I'm going to do it again until I get it right.

    I'm settling for my 23 out of fear that I might do worse.

    Mary, On my 2nd try I got 29. On the 3rd try I changed my location to OK, and the questions were the same, and I got all 30 correct. I still FLUNKED the first time, so I guess It doesn't matter.
