MORE questions are set to be added to the US citizenship test as part of a major overhaul to the program.
Participants will have to study a raft of topics, including history and politics, and answer 12 questions correctly.
The pass rate is 12/20 and there are 128 possible questions that someone could be asked.
Participants must also be able to prove they’ve lived in the US for at least three or five years, and they can speak basic English.
Immigration officials have hinted that more changes to the process are coming.
“American citizenship is the most sacred citizenship in the world and should only be reserved for aliens who will fully embrace our values and principles as a nation,” Matthew Tragesser, the USCIS spokesperson, said.
“These critical changes are the first of many.”
Under the old format of the test, participants had to answer six out of 10 questions correctly.
There were 100 possible questions a person could be asked.
The citizenship test is a speaking exam and not multiple choice.
Sometimes, there will be several acceptable answers.
Those who fail the test first time round can resit it.
But, if they don’t pass, then their citizenship application will be blocked.
