Not a whole lot, you need to learn some about US history, and how the government works, you should ACE the language test since you come from north of the border.

for removing conditions?

This was posted in the Citizenship forum, which has to do with Naturalization exam, and N-400.

The OP filed to remove conditions last April, and will become able to file N-400 this April, while I-751 is still pending.

The questions are phrased exactly like in the book they give you when go for fingerprints, and they want to hear the short answers, no need to learn the small lessons under each answer. It really does not take that much studying to learn them.

I would guess that, it depends on the AO who will be assigned to you. There are some really strict AO's. Some really take their time when they interview applicants, but some just breeze thru the procedure just like the standard way. I came early for my interview so I saw that some people came out of the AO's office in 15 to 20mins, I saw a few who had been inside for quite some time, more than half an hour, you might wonder what went on inside, right?

My AO asked questions straight from the reviewer. Pretty easy if you studied. But some questions could be tricky. But I have heard from some applicants in the waiting room that they were asked some surprised questions about american history (which is also included in the booklet but not highlighted as a question), and I even read postings of some members here that they had the same experience. But the good news is, you only have to answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly. Better come prepared, that's all I can say.
