Going For Citizenship
I am preparing to apply for citizenship early next year, does anyone have any advice they can give concerning the interview and test.. Is the test very difficult, and how many questions do they usually ask? As a Brit do I have to do the English test?
Thanks

At the interview, they will determine whether you indeed qualify for citizenship. They will ask 10 of those 100 Civics Questions, 6 of which you must get right in order to pass.
Yes, you will have to do an English test as well, even if it's your native language. You will have to read one sentence aloud, and will have to write a sentence the officer tells you. The officer decides ahead of time what those sentences are.

They will select 10 questions from a list (do a Google search) and you need to get only 6 right. Unless you have any major crimes or file too early then you'll not have a problem.
Good luck!

Re: Going For Citizenship
Most of the questions are not difficult. There are a few dates to be memorized, as well as a few specific details about the constitution, but the material is easy to review. You'll have to do the English "test", which is nothing more than reading and writing two VERY SIMPLE sentences. Very simple as in "He drives a blue car" for example.

Alan, I'm surprised and a little disappointed. The language in America is still called English.
The test has also been changed; you may want to check your assumptions about the test questions.
