Tougher US Citizenship Test Returns | JQJO

The U.S. government is reinstating a more challenging citizenship test, requiring applicants to answer 12 out of 20 questions correctly, up from the previous 6 out of 10. The revised test, with 128 questions instead of 100, will be implemented for applications filed on or after October 20th. This change, reversing a Biden administration decision, aims to ensure new citizens are "fully assimilated." The new test features more complex questions and requires applicants to answer until they pass or fail. The previous version, deemed too easy, was criticized for allowing memorization of answers.
