I read “New Test Asks: What Does ‘American’ Mean?” one day ago. There is something in my mind. I am a Taiwanese, and I am not interesting in being a U.S. citizen. I don’t think this test is hard, although it is just a part of whole procedure.
In a one-on-one oral examination, an immigration officer asks the applicant 10 questions of varying degrees of difficulty selected from the list of 100. To pass, the applicant must answer 6 of those 10 questions correctly.
Only need 6 correct answers. Most of the questions only require one of the answers. It’s easy if you have time to study.
There is another report: “Who Would Become an American, With These Queries?”. That’s the reason why I made Civics Test 2008. I wish I can get some statistics through it. While I was cut-and-pasting the 100 questions into script file. The most interesting questions are those about the Constitution. How? By studying, you can pass the questions about the Constitution. However, who do obey that? I think many countries’ constitutions are similar, but those are just pieces of paper with text. Which country or who does obey?
