I’ve taken the sample citizenship tests before too. The only question I usually get wrong is “What is the name of this test.”

Reminds me of the story of my boss’ father. Went for his citizenship hearing and examination. Fellow was a general under Chiang during the Chinese Civil War and WWII; artilleryman, so stone-deaf.

“What is today?” asks the examiner

“Monday”

“Who is the President of the United States”

“Bill Clinton”

“What time is it now?”

“1:00 pm.”

“How long have you been waiting?”

“Five years.” Anyone who’s gone through the permanent resident to citizen thing gets that the General was making a joke at the examiner’s expense.
