About the Government's New Naturalization Test

The government has recently released a new Naturalization Test, which is to provide a more standardized, fair and naturalization process. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) took some years to revise the test to reflect the fundamental concepts of American democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The redesigned test will help to encourage citizenship applicants to learn and identify with the basic values we all share as Americans.

The primary aim to redesigning the test was to ensure that all naturalization applicants receive a uniform, consistent testing experience across the nation. The new, redesigned civics test can effectively assess whether applicants have a meaningful understanding of U.S. government and history. The new test now serves as an important instrument to coincide with basic U.S. history and civics curriculum. The parallel flow of curriculum with the new test will provide a sense of continuity to encourage civic learning and patriotism among prospective citizens. The new test also has a revised English reading and writing section as well as a list of 100 new history and government questions.

If you are a citizenship applicant or a naturalization applicant under Form N-400, check with your U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office for additional information. At this point, if you have an immigration attorney it is wise to check in for detailed information.

It is important to know the details and how the new tests affect your present curriculum. Learn how this affects you as an applicant by conferring with an immigration lawyer.
