US EditionTrump revives longer citizenship test
The reinstated test requires naturalization applicants to answer 12 of 20 questions from 128, raising the difficulty to ensure better knowledge of U.S. civics, officials said.
- Starting this month, the Trump administration reinstated the 2020 naturalization civics test, requiring applicants to answer 12 of 20 questions from a set of 128.
- After the Biden administration struck down the 2020 test in 2021, Trump signed an executive order earlier this year directing DHS to review assimilation policies, including the citizenship test.
- The test uses a 128-question bank and random selection, with a USCIS officer administering questions on the Constitution, U.S. history, and roles of Congress and the president.
- The new format requires at least 12 correct answers out of 20, so lawful permanent residents who fail remain residents but cannot naturalize.
- Public knowledge gaps and accuracy problems complicate the exam's rollout, as only one-third of the American public can pass, with 60% missing WWII questions and some official answers plainly wrong.
