The American Civics test is an examination that all immigrants must pass to gain U.S. citizenship. The test asks 10 randomly selected questions which cover U.S. history, the constitution and government. In 2015 Arizona became the first state to require High School students to pass the test before they graduate.

3% No, most citizens couldn’t even pass a citizenship test |
1% Yes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding |

I had to do this in Britain and most British citizens didn't kbow the history, politics I had to learn. I think this should focus on law, rights and responsibilities in modern NZ including cultural understanding such as tikanga and kiwi-isms to help them fit in avoid social mistakes.
