US Citizenship Test Question

Question for those who became US Citizens recently

I'm just curios about this:

When you (or someone you know) took the US citizenship test - did the immigration officer asked you the questions verbally, or was that a written test?

I became a US citizen 10 years ago and can't remember exactly how it went. I think that the officer asked me all the questions, and I answered them back verbally. Except, the English test. That was a written test.

A friend of mine just took the test this month. The question were asked verbally and then they had to read a sentence then write one sentence. sounded fairly simple.

Sounds like my test. I don't remember if I had to read something, though.

Thanks for your response, Indianheart!

The civics questions were verbal last year in ABQ. They also ask some questions to test your English skills, which seemed a bit odd for me given that I'm from the UK. They will also ask some questions about details in your application: marital status, employment, immigration history, etc, etc.... They might also do some fishing to see if you might have deviated from what is expected for an model citizen.

Interesting. I can recall any of those questions.

Thanks for your response, ninja.

They're normally given orally. Unlike some of the study guides and examples you might see, the actual questions are NOT given in a multiple choice format. So you have to know the answers without choosing them from a list.

The officer made me swore first, then he asked me a few questions regarding the details in my application.. Then he asked me 5 questions very fast, after than he made me write a sentence that he dictated to me..

After that, he congratulated me and told me I need to come at 2:00pm for the oath at the same day.

Gee, they asked my wife six questions, had her primed to snap back the answers, then she wrote, "I am a very good cook", she said took less than two minutes for that phase. But they can ask you ten questions of which you have to answer six of those ten correctly, and verbally. Hopefully, your interviewer can speak English in a clear and a precise manner. The rest of her 29 minutes was my wife proving to her interviewer that she was married to me with pieces of paper, guess our matching wedding ring set, marriage certificate, and the fact that I was sitting in the waiting room wasn't enough proof. Ha, let me see your papers, just like Nazi Germany. Was even prepared to say, "yes dear" to my wife in front of the interviewer.
