He will have to learn them all.  They will be a random selection of 6 to 10 questions from the 100.

Agree with Crazy Cat. I could tell you which questions I had but it's going to be irrelevant as not everyone gets the same questions. He needs to know the answer to all 100.

You are the one trying to get hired at an interview. We are trying to obtain a benefit.

If your spouse has lived here for any reasonable number of time a good deal of these questions they should know already. The best way to remember them is to test your spouse every day, and go over the ones that they get stuck on the most. Eventually they will stick. A lawyer should not be needed for this. The spouse is asking to become the citizen and not the lawyer, it's their responsibility to complete the test.

 

OP: good luck on it, and don't worry. If you guys spend a while studying together it will be okay!
