Ashley Morgan scored an 82% on the U.S. citizenship test. While this score is passing, she believes she should have scored higher given her background in history classes in high school and lessons from her retired history teacher grandfather. The 82% score motivated her to want to become more educated about the U.S. governmental system. She also notes that the average score of 68% for Americans on the test suggests U.S. citizens do not know much about their own country and should expect to score higher, rather than using the test as a benchmark for what is required to become a citizen.
