To become a U.S. Citizen, a foreign citizen or national can go through a Naturalization process which includes a Naturalization Exam. As part of the process, a candidate will be expected to answer questions about their background and application. Candidates are also required to take both an English test and a Civics test (unless granted a waiver or exemption).
The U.S. Citizenship Civics test consists of 10 questions. To pass the test, students must correctly answer at least 6 of the questions. The ten questions are taken from a set of 100 questions on topics including: American Government, American History, and Integrated Civics.
Candidates are given two chances to pass the Civics exam. If a candidate fails the exam, they are given another chance to pass the test between 60 and 90 days after their first test.
