U.S. Citizenship Test

The VoteBook Citizenship Test is based on the actual test administered by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service . Federal regulations say that persons applying for citizenship must "be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of U.S. history and principles of government."

The questions appear here just as they do on the official list of 100 questions approved by the INS. The correct answers here also come directly from the official answer key.

The main difference between the VoteBook Citizenship Test and the real test is that this is a multiple choice exam, so we have made up the incorrect answers. Also, in the real test, the examiner gets to pick the 10 questions that will be asked, so they aren't really random. In the VoteBook test, the computer randomly selects the 10 questions.

There is no national standard for a passing grade. According to the INS, most regional offices require a score of 7 or 8 out of 10 to pass. A score of 8 out of 10 is needed to pass the VoteBook test.

OK, get ready to start the VoteBook Citizenship Test!
