Editor’s Notebook: The Naturalization Process Requires a Civics Test-Can You Pass the Test?

It's time to test your knowledge about our country and see if you can pass the same test someone going through the naturalization process has to pass.

Last year 694,193 people were sworn in as new citizens of the United States.  Each one of these new citizens had to take a civics test that showed they have a basic understanding of our history, economy, and political makeup. 

I took the test Tuesday night and I passed.

How do you think you would do on this test?  If you have the confidence, give yourself about 20-30 minutes to take the test.
