USCIS is planning to change the test individuals take when they apply for naturalization to become a United States citizen. The new naturalization test is expected to be rolled out late 2020 or early 2021. The test has not been updated in over 10 years since 2008.
The naturalization test for United States citizenship currently asks applicants 10 randomly generated questions from a list of 100. The questions cover three subjects: American government, American history and integrated civics, which includes American geography, symbols and holidays. Applicants for U.S. citizenship must get at least six out of the 10 questions correct to pass the test.
Last year, the USCIS naturalized more than 750,000 people, which the agency says is a five-year high. The USCIS reports a national pass rate of 90% for the citizenship test and says a pilot of its revisions will be rolled out this fall.
