How much time in advance before the test are you given the test date?

Interview was scheduled about a month after the date of the notice. I believe there is plenty of time to study, even if you have a fast timeline. My husband had a similar timeline to the above poster. Interview date was Sept. 3rd(interview notice date was Aug 2nd), and oath ceremony was Sept. 18th. He filed June 19th and had bio reuse. Our field office is in another state 3 and a half hours away, Montgomery, Alabama.

Generally the interview is 4-6 weeks out from the notice date. Obviously it depends on how you are as a person in regards to how much time you need to study. I'd say most people don't need more than 1 week if they study for an hour a day. Listen to the youtube videos as they're as close to the real test as you can get. At the real test you won't read the questions, you also don't get several answers to choose from. So for me personally both the study book you get at the biometrics and the USCIS study app go away, they did not work for me in the slightest unless I had someone else asking me the questions and not giving me "multiple choice" answers.

The youtube videos are great as you don't need to bother anybody else, nobody needs to read the questions for you as the person in the video already does just that. Listen while you work, you can easily get several hours of studying in while working (if you have a job that allows it). Doing this I knew all the answers after 1 day.

Thanks all. Okay, 4 weeks notice seems to be the minimum. That should be fine.

Thanks!

I don’t think you really need more than a week to study either, as long as you are fairly fluent in English. A few you have to memorize stuff (# of members of Congress) and some others are really very easy. And you only need 6 out of 10 right. 

 

I also found I had already absorbed a number of the history answers through my kids constantly playing the Hamilton soundtrack 🤣
