It is not necessary to have perfect pronunciation or speak without mistakes - the ability to understand English in general is assessed. You may be asked as basic questions, like How old are you?more complex ones, for example, Have you ever applied for US citizenship in the past?
To check the reading (Reading test) and writing (Writing test), the applicant is given a tablet and asked to read three sentences in English, and then write the other three sentences under dictation. For the passage, it is enough to correctly read and write just one sentence. The words that are found in the sentences are quite simple and the knowledge of English obtained at school should be enough, if, of course, you really learned it and did not forget it before moving.
