In the interest of creating a more standardized, fair, and meaningful naturalization process, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently completed a multi-year redesign of the naturalization applicant test. The newly-restructured exam (administered beginning 2008), challenges applicants to a list of tough questions, covering history, politics, geography, language and culture, before citizenship is legally earned.
The major aim of the redesign process is to ensure that naturalization applicants have uniform, consistent testing experiences nationwide, and that the civics test can effectively assess whether applicants have a meaningful understanding of U.S. government and history.
USCIS examiners will select ten questions and the applicant must answer 60% correctly in order to pass.
Would you pass the U.S. citizenship test?
And NO using Google or peaking at the answers?
