Are you smart enough to be a German Citizen?
This quiz is based on the German Citizenship Test. to pass you need to have a score of 17/33

http://www1.spiegel.de/active/quiztool/fcgi/quiztool.fcgi?id=33093

I ended up with a score of 26/33.

1. ...

You scored 33 out of a possible 33 points.

Well done! You would have no problem getting a German passport.
START AGAIN?

2. That was interesting. I did better than I thought I would.
I missed five or six (I was going back and guessing again until I got it right after missing one, though; so it tabulated my final score as 33 out of 33!). I feel a little dumb for missing the border question, though. The final two I got correct, though; even though they were total shot-in-the-dark guesses!

3. 24 out of 334 are
Good to know I could gain citizen ship somewhere else if necessary :)

I was very surprised about the courses children over 14 are required to take...I don't want to give the answer away here.

5. I only missed one
Not bad for not even studying ahead :)

I lived there for two and a half years in the early 80's and would love to live there the rest of my life if I could.

6. 33 out of 33
Some were guesses (I don't know flags), but others seemed fairly obvious.

10. I got 25.
Some were educated guesses, some were just regular old guesses. If I discount the shot-in-the-dark guesses, I still think I'd qualify.

11. It says I scored 33 out of 33, but I got 8 or 9 wrong the first try.
I assumed it would keep track of the ones I got wrong, so I didn't count, but I'm thinking it was in the 8-9 range.

There were about 5 I didn't know, but it let me go back until I got it right and then told me ....
"You scored 33 out of a possible 33 points.
Well done! You would have no problem getting a German passport."

Many of those 24 being lucky guesses.

22. if only they gave the test in English!
Ah.... Germany. Too bad (sort of.... sort of good, I guess) we bombed the shit out of it, or else it would be a lovely place.

I think I got about 25, but I went back and did some again, and didn't keep track of how many I got wrong the first time, so that's just a guess.

I cheated though, I kept answering until I got the right answer, otherwise I would have missed about 6 of them.

My great-grandmother would be proud.

To see her homeland today.

Hopefully, she'd be kinda proud of me, too.

My wife is a German citizen and resident. I wouldn't have that problem anyway.
But then I couldn't vote against the Republicans, so I'll keep my U.S. passport
for now, thanks all the same.

33. 28. But I have a feeling that the real test ...
... is probably written in German. That would increase the difficulty for me.

I know the German word for "beer". That's about all.
