Just study the civics questions on the booklet,

I'm having problems remembering date of when Constitution was written, date about Declaration of Independence, and specific names I'm not familiar with (like Speaker of the House)...the rest I've got pretty much down...but the dates keep screwing me, and I can't yet think of any sort of "trick" to remembering them.

I made flash cards of all the questions, and narrowed it down to the ones I missed when it got closer to the interview.  As for dates, I don’t know a good trick, but there are really only two that you have to memorize. Declaration of Independence (July 4th, 1776) and just the year for the Constitution (1787).  So, just those two, not as bad as you think!  Good luck
