What to expect at the naturalization interview?

Does anyone know what to expect at a citizenship interview? How does that work? Is the test written or oral? Is it right then and there at the interview? What other questions do they ask?

- You will be asked to raise your hand and placed under oath for the interview.

 

- You and the IO will go through your N-400. They may ask you questions on the content of the form, so be sure you know what's in there. They'll also ask if you need to make any changes, e.g. if you traveled outside of the US between the time you filed and your interview, or if you got married/divorced/widowed, or had children, or moved, or got a new job, or got arrested for something -- tell them at that time and your application will be amended accordingly.

 

- The civics test is oral. They ask you up to 10 questions from the pool of 100, you have to get 6 right and you pass. Try to give them the exact answers they're looking for.

 

- The language test is both oral and written. For the oral part, they'll give you a written sentence and you have to read it aloud. For the written part, they'll utter a sentence and you'll have to write it on a piece of paper. The sentences typically relate to US civics, and this part of the test is trivial if you speak English at least decently, as the sentences are elementary school level stuff.

 

- Your language skills are actually evaluated throughout the interview, not just through the formal bits where you're reading and writing super simple sentences.
