MSNBC provides twenty sample questions<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When immigrants want to become Americans, they must take a civics test as part of their naturalization interview before a Citizenship and Immigration Services officer. The questions are usually selected from a list of 100 sample questions (see at http:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/graphics\/services\/natz\/English.pdf ) that prospective citizens can look at ahead of the interview (though the examiner is not limited to those questions). Some are easy, some are not. We have picked some of the more difficult ones. Should you be welcomed immediately to the Land of the Free or sent home for some more homework? Find out!<\/p>\n

(PLEASE NOTE: These questions are as asked on the official United States Immigration and Naturalization Services Web site. Candidates are not given multiple choices in the naturalization interview, which is conducted orally.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I got 95%, though I was glad it was multiple choice in a few cases, and a couple were outright guesses.<\/p>\n
