Regarding the citizenship testing, does one have to only learn those 100 possible questions of the INS website or is there more to the testing?
Also, if you are not sure of the answer - is it best to guess or say I don't know and move on to the next question?
How many of the possible 100 questions do they ask you?
Thanks in advance!
I also forgot to ask, whether or not it is a written or spoken test. Cheers.
My citizenship interview was this past Monday in Milwaukee, WI. It was a 10 question written multiple choice (ABCD) test. All 10 questions were from that sample list, but one or maybe two of them were worded differently.
The Guide to Naturalization book says "we will ask you to verbally answer a set of civics questions or to take a written multiple choice test with up to 20 questions."
So I guess it depends on your local office. I only studied the list of sample questions.
Good luck.
Yeah, mine was verbal, and they were questions from the list. Easy really. I'd say if you don't know, its best to give a SENSIBLE guess, then at least they know you have at least a grasp of American history.
Need to comfirm this im not sure but its something like ..if you are over 55 or have been here for 15 years you dont need to take the test .
I know i didnt .
Mine was verbal and the guy stopped after 7 because he was satisfied I knew enough. All the questions were ones I had seen before on the website. The only surprise was that he asked me what was the 50th state. I knew the 50th and 51st but not which one was which.
Of course, I guessed wrong but he then said again, "you've got a 50/50 chance"....so I guessed the other one. He didn't care about the questions it was obvious. He also had me write the phrase "Many people have died for freedom." The difficult part of that is not barfing on the paper while writing it.
The only surprise was that he asked me what was the 50th state. I knew the 50th and 51st
49th and 50th? :wink:
Didn't you notice that G W Bush referred to Tony Blair as "Governor Blair" lol
