85-100%: Welcome to the United States! (And, truth be told, you know more about this great land than most Americans.)
Not too bad for a Canadian who didn't study for the test. I'll readily admit that I guessed some of them, but if you think about the questions, they can be educated guesses.

You answered 85% of questions correctly.

I got 3, 8 and 19 wrong and 19 was cause I don't need to know the form cause I was born here.

I got 90%--I missed the one about the form too, and the one about who picks Supreme Court justices, which I think was kind of a trick question (I said the Senate, since you can't be appointed without Senate approval...)

I'm at a 70%...not too bad seeing I never liked government or American History.

Wow, and for NOT being an immigrate to the US, I knew which form to fill out for INS
Well, which isn't fair because 1) How many citizens are going to fill out that form and 2) It's not INS anymore, it's called something else (INS was split after 9/11)

I got 90%. The test is basic knowledge of American history and law, stuff you should have learned in high school.
