THE CHALLENGE: Mock Citizenship Quiz

The Challenge asks Canadians to test their national knowledge by studying for and writing a mock citizenship exam. The questions are based on Canada's real citizenship test, on which prospective citizens must achieve a score of 75% or better in order to pass.

In addition to a mock citizenship test, the Citizenship Challenge program offers educational tools and quizzes relating to Canadian history and civics, which can be used in classrooms or by the public. A program of Historica Canada, the Citizenship Challenge invites Canadians to deepen their knowledge of Canada’s past and present in order to gain a fuller understanding of the country.

Enter for the chance to win a $200 gift card by sending us your class scorecard at challenge.defi@historicacanada.ca. The contest is open to teachers across Canada until 28 February 11:59PM EST.
