<p>The Texas Government test is ONLY because they are legally required to make you have some knowledge of TX Government. From what I have been told, if you scored a 4 or 5 you don’t need to get ANY questions right, simply to take the exam, and if you have a 3 you only need 5 of the 20 right. Many questions are common sense, but remember that a lot about our state government doesn’t make much sense at all (e.g. the Lt. Governor is widely regarded to be the most powerful figure in state government yet makes all of $7,200 per year).</p>
<p>I wouldn’t spend any money on a book to study for the test–maybe read the “Politics of Texas” article on Wikipedia, but you don’t need much more practice than that.</p>
