Steps to Passing your U.S. Citizenship Test

October 13, 2011

Part of the path to obtaining U.S. Citizenship is passing the U.S. Citizenship Test & Interview. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts this test to all permanent residents applying for citizenship.

Individuals are required to take an English and Civics test. The test includes 100 civic questions. Generally, applicants are asked up to 10 out of the 100 questions. In order to successfully pass the exam it’s required to answer at least six of the ten random questions asked.

The English portion of the test has three parts, including reading, writing and speaking. Individual’s ability to speak basic English is determined by the USCIS officer conducting the interview. It’s required to read one out of three sentences correctly for the reading portion of the exam. Applicants are also required to write one out of three sentences correctly.

Once your citizenship application is accepted, the USCIS gives you an easy to understand DVD and study guide to help you pass the test. It provides you the tools needed to gain the knowledge to be successful in passing the U.S. Citizenship Test and Interview.

To do your interview in Spanish you need to be:

• 50 years old and 20 years as a U.S. Resident
• 55 years old and 15 years as a U.S. Resident
