[pars3221 0]

Hi All,

Well the wife is started to study for the exam, but I had a quick question regarding how to study for the exam using the study guide

for example

2. What does the Constitution do?

▪ sets up the government

▪ defines the government

▪ protects basic rights of Americans

or

12. What is the “rule of law”?

▪ Everyone must follow the law.

▪ Leaders must obey the law.

▪ Government must obey the law.

▪ No one is above the law.

do you have to know all three answers or just one is sufficent?

sorry for the stupidt question, but rather be safe than sorry.

Thanks for your help

you just need to know one answer. Also, if she likes studying on a computer check this official uscis n-400 test questions documents out at :

Also, did she had her FP done? when I completed my FP at the atlanta DO they gave me a book to study lol, so you know if she ahvent had her finger printing done, when you go, just ask for the book, its pretty good with nice explanations. It really aim at teaching you the civics lol

Also I would appreciate if you can post your wifes timeline. Thanks

I have to say that for $13 the flash cards are great!! I am now down to a pile of 97 and a pile of 3 (dont knows) although this thread has given me hope for those 3 cards have multiple answers and to think I only need to know 1 is very encouraging....

Are you sure you need to know only one answer for these questions? Sometimes it asks for just one answer specifically. Sometimes the different answers mean the same thing (e.g. Congress or Senate and House of Representatives or Legislature). But I think the answers of these questions have different meanings and it doesn't just ask for one answer. Setting up the government and protecting basic rights of Americans are definitely two different things. For question #12, they basically mean the same thing but I'm not sure how strict the IO is. For example, one of the December filers was asked who has to register for Selective Service and she answered "Males at the age 18" The officer was not happy with that answer, even though it's in the booklet like that, but she wanted to hear "Males between the age 18 and 26". Also, one of my questions was "What does the judicial branch do?" and I gave all four answers for that also.

Believe it or not, I memorized all the answers. You can ask me what are the 22 Indian tribes in the US and I can give you the 22 answers... I really did my best to memorize all of them because I didnt want to be taken by surprise. You'll never know who your AO will be and what type of personality does he/she have. Believe me, they can ask you anything they want and you are obliged to give the correct answers. You cant reason out saying "but it says in the booklet to give just one answer..."

Better be safe than sorry... since I filed before October 1 2008, I knew I could be given a choice to take the old or the new exam. Given the chance to choose, of course I will choose the old test. But to be on the safe side, I studied both the old and the new test, just in case my AO wouldnt give me a chance to choose. Fair enough, that's what happened. He didnt give me a chance to choose. He just asked questions right away... from the old test. Can you imagine my worries if I didnt study the old test and just hoped that the AO will give me the chance to choose the new test? I know that there isnt much of a big difference between the 2 exams, but I could have been very unlucky if I didnt study the old test and all of the questions asked by the AO were the ones eliminated from the new test. My AO even asked me to give the 2 senators from my state, not just one. I know that you're asking about the new test, but my point is, you can never be sure of what the AO will ask you. Sometimes, they ask stuff from the booklet that are not even highlighted as questions. I guess it depends on their mood. Did I regret studying both the old and the new test? or regret memorizing all of them? No. Because during the interview, I was confident that I am prepared for any questions the AO would ask me... and that made me less nervous.
