New Naturalization Test Almost Here
Upon satisfying certain requirements, lawful permanent residents of the United States may file applications for naturalization allowing them to become U.S. citizens. One of the requirements is that the applicant have knowledge of the English language, and knowledge of U.S history and government (civics).
Effective October 1, 2008, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin administering a new naturalization examination. The new test will follow the same format as the old test, which essentially asks ten questions. Six of the questions must be answered correctly. The only difference is that the reading and writing portions of the new test will be related to the civics content rather than to everyday English. Individuals who filed their naturalization applications before October 1, 2008, may chose to be given the old test — as long as the examination interview (test day) is scheduled before October 1, 2009. See www.uscis.gov/newtest to view the new test questions.
In the new test where more than one answer is listed , do you have to answer all possible answers or just one?
ie:
12. What is the “rule of law�?
â–ª Everyone must follow the law.
â–ª Leaders must obey the law.
â–ª Government must obey the law.
â–ª No one is above the law.
Thank you
In a multiple-choice test, you only choose one answer - the one you think is the most correct.
As an immigrant who applied for (and later obtained) U.S. citizenship, I received a booklet before my test from the USCIS. This booklet is given to all immigrants who have completed an application to become a U.S. citizen. It helps immigrants prepare for the test they need to take during their citizenship interview. This booklet has 100 sample questions and answers about the United States of America.
During your citizenship interview and test, you will be asked 10 of these questions. You must answer 6 of them correctly.
The 100 questions are divided into 3 big sections:
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT, AMERICA HISTORY AND INTEGRATED CIVICS.
