USCIS Updated Citizenship Test: More Questions

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will introduce an updated version of the citizenship and naturalization test from December 1. The agency first announced plans to review the test in July 2019. This is stated on the site USCIS.

“USCIS has revised the Citizenship and Naturalization Test as part of its traditional 10-year update to ensure it remains a tool that comprehensively assesses naturalization applicants' knowledge of American history, government, and civic values,” the release said.

The test is conducted for immigrants who have applied for US citizenship and is one of the statutory requirements for naturalization. Applicants who applied for naturalization on or after December 1, 2020 will take an updated version of the test. Those who apply before December 1, 2020 will pass the current version of the test.

“USCIS has been working diligently to revise the naturalization test since 2018, relying on input from education experts to ensure the process is fair and transparent,” said USCIS Deputy Director for Policy Joseph Edlow. — Naturalization allows immigrants to become full members of American society with the same rights and responsibilities as natural-born citizens. And a test that prepares naturalization applicants for these responsibilities is of paramount importance to our office.”

The revised test includes more questions that test an applicant's understanding of U.S. history and civics and covers a variety of topics that provide the applicant with more opportunities to learn about the United States as part of the test preparation process. The current rules provide that the immigration officer will ask the citizenship applicant 10 questions out of 100 possible; from December 1, they will ask 20 questions out of 128. But the passing score has not changed - 60%. Currently, candidates must correctly answer 6 out of 10 questions to successfully pass the test, and from December 1 - 12 out of 20.

Applicants aged 65 and over and those who have lived in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for at least 20 years will be allowed to take the old version of the test. That is, they will be asked 10 questions, and they must answer correctly at least six of them.

In the summer of 2020, USCIS conducted a countrywide pilot test with community organizations and volunteers. The data collected during this pilot project was used to help USCIS determine the lexical and grammatical structure of the individual test items.
