I found this interesting I had read it on the Candle.

RECENT NEWS - THE REDESIGNED NATURALIZATION EXAM

In the interest of creating a more standardized, fair, and meaningful naturalization process, the USCIS recently completed a multi-year redesign of the U.S. citizenship exam. The revised naturalization exam, with an emphasis on the fundamental concepts of American democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, will help encourage citizenship applicants to learn and identify with the basic values we all share as Americans.

The new redesigned naturalization exam will take effect on October 1, 2008. After this date, all citizenship applicants must take the new test. Individuals that have submitted their citizenship application before October 1, 2008 but been scheduled to have the naturalization interview after October 1, 2008 can choose whether to take the current or redesigned naturalization exam. All applicants scheduled for the naturalization interview after October 1, 2009 must take the new test.

My wife will file before the October 1, 2008 deadline. I don't quite know how this will work? but it stated you have a choice of either test.

I guess based on my understanding if you filed before October 1, 2008, you can choose whether to take the current or redesigned naturalization exam. If my interview is after October 1, 2008 I'm thinking I'll go with the current test since thats the one I've been reading

Where did you find the study material? can you download from a PDF file? is it on the USCIS site. I did not know the new test was available yet.

Guess my husband gets the new one. I'll be glad when it is all over.

Here's a topic I started back in July with a few posts with links of the new US Citizenship test.

My sister had the choice of either the old or new test back in October, so she studied for the new one. The only difference I saw is that the new one has 40 more questions and some of them are multiple choice.

The USCIS web site states study material for the redesigned naturalization should be available sometime in early 2008 so it is possible you are studying for the current test.
