It's true... Most people born in America wouldn't even be able to pass the test to become citizens in their own country. So now's time to find out how you would do. In the quiz below, we chose 10 questions out of the more than 120 that the officer could ask someone applying for citizenship. A little fun fact - when someone is taking this oral test with an officer, they're actually asked 20 questions. If they get 60% or more correct, it's considered passing. Not so easy though... As the questions chosen may not be the ones they studied for most or (even worse) they could have changed recently as politics evolve emoji
