Redesigned Naturalization Test

[FVA 0]

"Naturalization applicants will begin taking the revised test on October 1, 2008.

Which Test Do I Take?

Following the public introduction of the redesigned naturalization test on September 27, 2007, there will be one full year before naturalization applicants begin taking the revised test. This period will allow adult educators and immigrants working toward citizenship sufficient time to prepare for the redesigned test. The following guidelines will determine whether naturalization applicants will take the current test or the redesigned version:

If an applicant:

* Applies BEFORE October 1, 2008 and is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview BEFORE October 1, 2008, he or she will take the current test.

* Applies BEFORE October 1, 2008 and is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview AFTER October 1, 2008, he or she can choose to take the current test or the redesigned version.

* Applies AFTER October 1, 2008, he or she will take the redesigned version.

* Is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview AFTER October 1, 2009, regardless of when he or she applied, he or she will take the redesigned version."

Wife just had to memorize George W. Bush, ####### Cheney, John G. Roberts Jr., Jim Doyle, Russ Feingold, and Herb Kohl.

She heard about Bush on the news, doesn't want to go hunting with #######, learned about my battle with Jim to get her driver's license with a one year extension, met Russ in person, and likes to shop at Kohl's that Herb owns. But she just couldn't remember John, so she repeated his name ten times as chief justice, wasn't asked about him anyway.

I did read the new test, more about geography, but now my wife can be like any other US citizen, and not know anything.
