Part III: Can YOU pass the civics test to become a naturalized citizen?

Find out! Take the second half of the test.

This week we continue our series on recognizing and celebrating legal immigrants — those who came for the promise of America through the proper channels and have assimilated into our culture. They were not born here, and yet they consider themselves Americans.

How did you score on the first half of the test? Many of you said that some of the questions were difficult to answer, but you enjoyed the challenge.

If you’re like me, you will find part 2 of the test, particularly the section on American History dating back to the 1800s, even more challenging.

To reiterate from part I, the civics test is an oral test, and the USCIS Officer will ask the applicant up to 10 of the 100 civics questions. An applicant must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test.

Links to the previous parts of this series are posted at the end.
