Citizenship Interview Study Material

[Hoshi 0]

Hi everyone! I have really enjoyed sharing my journey with everyone. I passed my citizenship interview earlier this year and Richard and I are so happy! The interview was not easy and I'm not sorry that i studied so much. My husband said I worried too much! I thought maybe we could share some study materials here. I really checked out lots of stuff from the library and on line. Won't go into everything but I did have one favorite: citizenshipcd.com It is 2 CDs and a short book. I think the book is called "Passing the US Citizenship Interview: Yes, You Can Do It". It was written and recorded by a real citizenship teacher. It is clear and understandable but not real slick like some of the big corporate stuff. This one was really all I needed to prepare for the interview, but i do worry too much and checked out lots of other books.

So, anybody have material they used and liked?? Please share.

I checked out the " US Citizenship Test for Dummies" (Yep - they have one) book last year to get an idea of what was ahead. It was interesting but it was based on the old citizenship test. I am finding that the booklet they give at the biometrics "Learn about the United States - Quick Civics Lessons for the New Naturalization Test" and the Civics Flash Cards are really helpful. I also find myself reading all of the reviews from the citizenship exam here on VJ and like it when people list the questions they were asked - I 'answer' them when reading their post as a kind of review.
