Could you pass a US citizenship test?

Yes. That's where I stopped also.

I have friends who are immigration lawyers and one told me that when an applicant answered "blue, white and red" to a question about the U.S. flag, the tester wanted to mark the answer as incorrect, because the testing booklet said "red, white and blue."

Based on your Avatar you should know that they are not the same thing. The episode in which the Firengi were introduced, Data described them in terms American capitalism and described the flag as red, white, and blue. Picard responed that the French flag was 'more appropriately blue, white and red"
 
Huh, I did the test and at the end it claimed I got 52 out of 96 correct. But that's a screw up in the count tally - the individual answers to the questions as I went through only flagged about 6 or 7 as being wrong. Not bad for a foreigner! :)
 
I got 50/50 when my server phoned me and said, "Look, Fella, if you stop clicking, I'll give you the rest of the answers. I'm going to have a seizure here with all the crap on those pages!" What a horrid way to take a test.

Too many questions on politics and political parties. I assume someone told them that the party system is not ingrained in the Constitution, right?

Capitalism? Really? Is that the 28th Amendment? I haven't seen that one.

Pledge of Allegiance? Lovely patriotic OPTIONAL pledge that people use, but where is it in law?

Where's the Statue of Liberty? Symbolic hunk of metal. What does it have to do with the constitution or government or systems of the USA.

I don't quite agree. I think it is fair to make certain a citizen applicant understand American values, even if they are not enshrined in the constitution or law. I actually thought the questions on the UK citizenship exam were more wtf that the US one. Knowledge of traffic laws to become a citizen? Really?
