Not really. All people will have to do is memorize answers.
What? Yes, really, because if people memorized enough of these answers, they could pass a basic American History test and become voters.
I'm not saying the test should be the same exact version each time, where a simple "cheat sheet" would work! Obviously, the test should be sufficiently engineered so that cheat sheets cannot be used, as is the customary countermeasure in any decent educational institution.
The whole point is knowing enough about American history, which involves basic recall and recognition.
