Re: Proud to be an American
Now that you're a citizen, are you able to apply for a US passport?

Do you have to get them all correct, or what percentage?

It has been written in many threads that they ask up to 10 questions, sometimes Computer generated, in my case from the interviewers head. If you get one wrong they asked another until you get them correct. Or so it has been written.

I think if you pass muster with all the requirements for becoming a Citizen, the verbal test is not seen as that important (By the Interviewers). It's also why USICS/Government want to increase the test to written & much harder.
