20060708 KDDC Immigration Test: Do you have what it takes?

Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?

July 8th, 2006

MSNBC lists some questions from the test given to folks who want to become U. S. Citizens.

They introduce the list of questions by saying:

When immigrants want to become Americans, they must take a civics test as part of their naturalization interview before a Citizenship and Immigration Services officer.

The questions are usually selected from a list of 100 sample questions (see at http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/English.pdf ) that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview (though the examiner is not limited to those questions).

Some are easy, some are not. We have picked some of the more difficult ones.

Should you be welcomed immediately to the Land of the Free or sent home for some more homework? Find out!

(PLEASE NOTE: These questions are as asked on the official United States Immigration and Naturalization Services Web site. Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview, which is conducted orally.)

The "test" can be found here. Tell us how well you do.
