Canadians' hearts may be brimming with pride as Canada Day approaches, but a new poll suggests their minds aren't full of the knowledge needed to pass a citizenship test.

Just scored 112 out of 152 in the practice test, with fatigue being the main factor of many of the wrong answers. The actual test is only 20 questions, but my score still doesn't feel good.

In fairness, some questions are about such obscure events or specific politicians that I can see why many wouldn't be able to answer them correctly unless they are involved in politics or Canadian war history all the time. And many were specifically about our First Nations people, which I don't think many Canadians would even learn about outside the school system.

I got 18 out of 20. I'm not going to be able to do all 152 :-)
