Starting next month, a new version of the U.S. citizenship test will require applicants to answer twice as many questions as the current one. Immigration and naturalization experts say the revamped test, which raises the number of questions to 20 from 10, could limit the number of tests done each day and slow down the process. However, test-takers will have to answer only 12 questions correctly to pass, the same pass rate as the old test. The new test foregoes geographical questions and test-takers will be required to name all three branches of government instead of just one. Taking the citizenship test happens at the end of the months’ long application process that is open to residents who have lived legally in the U.S. for more than five years.
