Naturalization Self Test
« on: November 11, 2005, 02:21:51 PM »
Hi Guys,

I'm in the process of applying to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. The process involves meeting the intial criteria, filling out the 10 page form, sending in the princely sum of $330, being fingerprinted, and then eventually taking the oath of allegiance and passing an oral test in US government and history. I was initially planning on buying the study guide and spending a month going through my books on US history and constitutional law until I took the online self-test.

Did anyone else here ever go through naturalization? Is the test really this easy? I don't want to get cocky and then ended up flubbing it because I can't name the Michigan state bird, or who becomes President if the POTUS, VPOTUS, Secretary of State and all the Members of the Congress are killed or incapacitated.

Here's the self test: Naturalization Self Test

Michigan state bird is the Robbin.
(I only know this because I live there)

I've always heard that the test is really difficult and that most Americans couldn't pass it.  I followed your link and took the test 5 times and got one question wrong. (Which amendment to the constitution does NOT address voting rights)  You strike me as an extremely intelligent person seagoon,  I don't think you'll have any problems.

P.S.  Congratulations on you decision and welcome.  Good luck.

I actually helped one of my co-workers study for it. He passed it with a 100%. If you paid attention in school & read the news on occasion it's easy.

i helped someone study for it, (they passed) it is mostly stuff about the US govt,

how many states-50
how many stars on flag and what they mean-50 one for each state
how many stripes and what they mean-13 one for each origanal state
how many senators and why-100, two for each state
how many representatives-435 according to population
who your fed senators are
who your fed representative is

 i think they only ask you 5 questions.

1. Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court today?
George W. Bush
Thomas Jefferson
Janet Reno
William Rehnquist


uhh....  might want to update that.

I took the test 4 times (5 questions each) and missed two.  One was a 'which amendment does what' regarding the 15th amendment (whoops) and the other asked how many supreme court justices there are (I answered how many seats there are, not how many are in now).

some of the answers are symplified and show a lack of understanding of american history. for instance: "Who did america fight in the revolutionary war?" the answer they want you to give is "england" but the correct answer is great britain. this is because we were not just fighting english, but scotts, welsh, irish, germans (under brit command of course).

The questions are stupid easy. I suspect that most Americans and every Canadian could pass the exam.

I can't even get the post office to agree as to what in hell to call England..

Ask 'em next time your down there.

"Is it England, Great Britan, Britan, the United Kingdom or Smurfville?"
