best way to study for the 100 questions

[hello28 0]

My wife will be taking the updated citizenship test that went into effect recently. What's the best way to study the 100 questions. Is there an online site to help one study for this, or even an interactive online pay site that quizzes you on the questions so you get practice? Thanks for any help!

When your wife goes in to be fingerprinted for her application, she should ask for a copy of the study guide. You can also print out flashcards from the USCIS site.

Everything you need to know about the test can be found here:

When my husband went for his fingerprints not only did he receive a study guide but also a cd, which was also helpful. You can also go to the USCIS site as stated in the last comment

A women recently posted here said she was so busy, she read all the test questions and answers an hour before her interview, missed one, so was given seven questions. But she passed. Wife and I spent two hours studying it while driving over, she got the first six correct, that ended it.

My wife wrote her own flash cards. The act of writing them down helps her remember the questions and answers. Also, it prompted her to find the answer to some of the locale specific answers.

Since they are cards and not folded pieces of paper, it's easy to shuffle them. The CD and the study guide have all the questions grouped together which may make you remember them incorrectly based on question order. For example, there is a ####### load of questions in which "The President" is the answer all together. Also with the geography questions, it's easy to flub on the east coast / west coast oceans as well as which states border Mexico versus Canada because your brain may associate the answers with the order in which they were asked instead of the questions.

Good luck!

Dave.

Ditto! Very helpful, and more importantly, it has audio (which is exactly the same as the audio CD USCIS gives out to N-400 applicants after biometrics, in most ASCs). And the 100 questions can be shuffled!

Play the CD in "RANDOM" mode! I found this very effective. Keep the CD in the car and play it for a week driving to work or school.

There are different ways to study for the citizenship test. But I find the website mentioned above very useful when I am online. I also use the civics flash cards (which I bought from the government store provided by the USCIS). And you can read more about the civics and study materials here, the link to the store is here as well

And here's the direct link to their store if you're interested,

I also find the audio CD very helpful since the civics test (and the interview) is verbal. I play the CD in my car, uploaded the mp3 file in my ipod and I play the questions in random order.

wow, thanks for all your help everyone! I noticed that some questions have more than one answer, like one question has the answer...

- sets up the government

- defines the government

- protects basic rights of Americans

So for questions like these, does the applicant have to know just one of the answers or must know all 3? Thanks for all your help!
