hello! members, pls. advice me that during citizenship writing test, is it necessary to write proper capital and small letters or all capital words would be fine too.

It is not important in what case. They are trying to test if you do understand written/spoken English (which you do by the way, your posting is much more complex than anything you would have write in the test); it is a couple of very simple sentences...

I think you miss-understood the previous poster, they were paying you a compliment.

I did cursive.

The poster was telling you that what you wrote as the question was harder than anything you'll be asked to write for the test, thus implying that your written English is more than enough. It was a compliment.

You'll have to write it correctly, not in SHOUT language. I had to write "Canada is the country north of the United States." (I.O. said: "write United States, not U.S.!"

Knowing when to use a capital letter is part of English grammar.

Wow, you were really tested, wife only had to write, "I am a good cook." Is a proper sentence with a subject and a predicate. And possibly even a joke for an English test. This was after 45 minutes of going over the N-400 with rather nebulous questions, if you want to criticize poor English, that is a good place to start. Plus all of our legal documents.

I never asked her if she used cursive or printed it, don't believe that was specified, but assume was printed, because everything else was. Also assumed she started off the first letter with a capital letter, used lower case for the rest of it and ended that sentence with a period. Seen enough of her hand writing.

But the science of hand writing is meeting a form of death due to the computer. Kids in school don't even know how to write nor print, everything done today, is on a computer.

I see where I was naugthy in typing out the N-400 applications, says:

Print clearly or type your answers using CAPITAL letters. Failure to print clearly may delay your application. Use black ink.

I only capitalized proper names using lower case for the rest. An issue was never made of this. Was far easier and neater to read. Besides, with a "de" name, that is never capitalized. And since I used proportional fonts, with those super long Spanish names, would have never fit in those small spaces using all capital letters.

Apparently, this is not an issue. Still wonder how my wife's and stepdaughter's IO's passed the English test.
