No you will not fail you will have to get 6 questions right out of 10. Don't be worried I know it's stressful but relax. Stress will hurt you more than you think. Think like you are going to the Bahamas when you go for your interview. And imagine that blue passport as the blue sea then lol. I hope I made you laugh but don't worry it nothing to be scared off.

i thought the test is very hard but it is just a "chicken". As long as u study the guide and know the answers to the questions then you have nothing to worry. it is not hard ..U have to get 6 correct answers out of the 10 they will ask u.

Good luck and prayers can move mountains.

You will pass! Don't worry! Just study the questions. I was nervous too, but the test was really easy! They stopped asking me after 6 questions because I got them all right. If you get a question wrong, they will keep asking you questions (up to 10) until you get 6 right.

When I checked-in for my naturalization interview, the USCIS officer told me congratulations in advance. He said that the test was very easy, and he was right! :)

The officer expects you to be nervous....

I had a really nice man, who made a lot of general chit-chat, and just slipped into the questions.

I was completely relaxed by then, and actually enjoyed the interview.

You've come this far...this is the final step, and, believe it or not, they actually want you to become a USC.

Relax, and enjoy!! :)

nothing to be nervous about. just study those 100 questions, you'll only have to get 6 right, they rarely ever ask difficult questions (years/dates/numbers/names). you get 3 tries for each reading and writing portion on the spot. Even if fail the test, you'll just have to reschedule and re-take the failed portion of the test.

Do not be nervous. As long as you study those 100 questions, you will be fine. I would ask my husband the questions every day (10-20 of them) and he would practice like that. He also downloaded an app which he studied from (besides the booklet he got at his biometrics appointment). Once you answer 6 questions correctly, you will be done. My husband said it was all very easy!

Good luck to you!

If you get more than 4 questions wrong, they will schedule you another interview in 4-6 weeks to let you try again. If you fail that one, they have to deny you. You can then apply again, but you have to pay another fee and wait several more months for processing.

At your biometrics you should have gotten a book and audio cd study guide. The audio CD has one track for each question-answer, with a 3-4 second gap between the question and the answer. Just listen through that CD a few dozen times on your way to and from work and you'll be able to answer those questions in your sleep.

DON'T PANIC

Read the book that USCIS gives out at your biometrics appointment, or try one of the many free apps available for phones. I had one for my Android that allowed me to select my state and location, so it confirmed my governor, senators, and congresspeople (pretty nifty!). Review a few questions a night and have someone test you on them. Identify the ones you have trouble remembering and focus on them. It's pretty straightforward.

The interview is not nearly as intense as the permanent residency one, and there is no rush on when you give your answers. Spend your time thinking and respond slowly, if you need to. You are not going to be rushed.

Where is a best source that you can find accurate questions and answers for the test. I see you guys are mentioning about 100 questions, who collected these questions and how sure are you that these are the questions? Or is there a site where we can pay and get them?

Thanks

Mary81 usually after your biometrics USCIS gives you a booklet that has the questions and answers. You can also google them. Some questions are related to your state so some answers will be different from state to state
