New Citizenship Test Trial

FYI: A new U.S. Citizenship test is currently being tried out in 10 randomly chosen cities by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Unlike the current test being used everywhere else, this test does have some questions with more than one correct answer. The Chicago Trib had an article about this on Dec. 1, 2006 and offered a complete list of the 144 possible questions with answers on its website. Why, this change? Complaining that the current U.S. citizenship test only measured rote facts that future citizens should know, the federal government wanted to design a new format to assure that immigrants understood American values and concepts. Immigration officials typically ask citizenship applicants to answer up to 20 civics questions from the possible 96 currently used. The new test has 144 possible questions.
