None of the interviews are the same. You have a book with 100+ questions just make sure you know all of them

[hellraiser 42]

And trust me, it is not a scary interview in any shape or form. Just to this perspective my 73 year old Dad and 65 year old mom passed the interview in flying color with 100% accuracy. The interviewers are really polite and helpful and unless you are toooooooo nervous and get into a black out, you will be just fine.

For the questions, they ask random questions (I think a software does that) out of the question bank.

Good luck

I agree, it seems to be computer generated. Though with the August filers last year, we noticed that those interviewing on the same day seem to have a lot (not all) questions in common.

[Udella&Wiz 325]

It doesn't really matter what others were asked.....the day of your interview they will have the 10 questions printed out. Know what otehrs were recently asked doesn't mean you will be asked the same questions at all and isn;t an indication of what you should study for.

The 10 questions are not based on you, they are randomly selected from the 100 and as noted before, the interviewer just receives a sheet with the 10 questions on it.

Study all 100

I'm usually pretty good at tests but damn, remembering 100 questions seems kinda difficult huh?

The test isn't all too difficult. It's just memorization.

Are the questions multiple choice as per the link above or are we asked them verbally and expected to know the answers.... I find multiple choice much easier.

For those of you who have recently just passed their interview.

what test questions did they ask you? if you can remember.

Study every question, do it every night. In 4-5 nights Alla had them all down pat, no problem. Just read through them with your spouse and when she did not know the answer, I told her. Then went over them again. We studied maybe 20 minutes every night for a few nights and she had them all.

At HER interview they asked questions until she would get 60% right (minimum 6 questions). They asked her 7 questions, she got one wrong. They asked her what the age RANGE was for registering for the draft, that is NOT the question in the test questions which was at what age does one need to register for the draft...age 18. The maximum age is 26 but she did not know that. I don't know if she remembers the other ones. Just study them all, it is easy.

They can do it different ways. Some just read the question and you answer. The study document is not "multiple choice" it is multiple answers. ANY of those shown are correct and accepted.

In some cases they give you pencil and paper and ask you to write your answers. But if English is your native language I doubt they will do that. Alla has a masters in English and Teaching English so they did not challenge her English ability either.

I agree it is not scary and not difficult really, but in our case it was the most thorough of any interview and the person seemed to be very professional and complete and sudied each document and asked all the questions. Allas citizenship interview took over 1/2 hour. I thought that was a long time but she said there were no problems, just a lot of stuff to go over.

Our AOS interview was MUCH fatser and easier.

Mine was totally verbal. The IO started went right into the questions after verifying what was on the N-400 application to ensure nothing had changed and that it was me that had submitted it. Can't remember most of the questions, but got stuck on the very last question: (paraphrased) What was the reason for the American Revolution ?

Too funny... I sat there a few minutes thinking how to phrase the answer. Now, what's funny is that I know all about the reason being dual UK/Canadian citizen (UK dropped "subjects" at some point).

i don't believe seeing this as one of the 100 test questions that I am studying.

[Kajikit 65]

Most of the questions are really easy. Just make sure that you learn the 'names' questions that you have to look up yourself. It seems as if you're almost certain to get asked for one of them (who is your governor/representative/senator?)

I don't remember all the questions I was asked, but the last one was name two American holidays. How easy is that? Christmas and Thanksgiving and you're done. I also had to name our state's governor.

i just had my interview yesterday. i got the first 6 questions she asked right so we stopped right there. i agree with everyone else on this post. i grew up in the US so I knew 95% of the answers inherently but studied up the night before for about 15 minutes. if you're not in that situation and you don't know most of this info, then I'd study hard because you won't know until the IO starts asking questions what the questions are going to be. It'd be a shame to have come that far and get denied because you didn't study.
