Improved Citizenship Test to be implemented

Tougher Citizenship Test From 1st Trump Admin to Be Restored

President Donald Trump's administration is moving to reinstate a more rigorous version of the U.S. citizenship test, with officials stating that the current version is too easy and fails to reflect the significance of American naturalization adequately, The Hill reported.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is preparing to roll out changes to the naturalization test, a shift that will restore tougher requirements introduced during President Trump's first term.

Newly appointed USCIS Director Joseph Edlow described the existing exam as insufficiently challenging and in need of reform.

Currently, the test includes an English proficiency evaluation and a civics portion. Applicants must answer six of 10 randomly selected questions correctly from a collection of 100.

Edlow indicated that the administration plans to revert to the 2020 version of the test, which increased the question bank to 128 and raised the number of correct answers required to 12 out of 20. In addition, the updated format would include a new speaking component designed to assess English fluency through visual prompts.

How much harder can they make it? It's crazy the test is already pretty hard and no American could even pass it if they had to take the test it's much harder than most tests that our high school kids are given in a social studies classroom I don't think that they should mess with the test because it's already hard enough and it's a good test and it covers a lot of things and it's good that citizens who are coming from other countries to learn about a lot of that I'm sure most Americans could never pass that test at all as it is right now!

NO AMERICAN could pass it? I believe your low expectations of Americans is showing. I can assure you, many Americans could pass the test as long as they were educated before the indoctrination began.
