I had my both citizenship and oath ceremony today at Baltimore field office. It was an emotional experience.
 
Interviewing officer was super super nice. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts here, I had a complex immigration history spanning over 20 years. She was very sympathetic towards me. Interview went very well. She jokingly said, that she does not want me see deal with USCIS any more, she will schedule the oath the same day.
 
Thank you very much all here for all your support. And good luck.

Definitely bring tax return transcripts if you haven't already uploaded them. They can ask for these no matter if you filed under the 3 or 5 year rule. I had already uploaded mine so therefore they didn't ask for them at the interview. They did however ask for my latest tax return as I had my interview in March and I had only filed my 2020 taxes a few days prior to my interview, so I brought the whole return (like 50-70 pages or something) since the transcript wasn't available yet. 

They go through the entire form, ie everything from your name and your address to your work and school history. They do this to make sure nothing has changed since you filed and to give you a chance to correct any info that may be wrong or add info that is missing. And yes, they go through the yes/no questions as well. The whole form, not just the 50 yes/no questions.

Hey all! I filed at the beginning of March, had my biometrics done done on Monday and just received a notice for my interview for end of August. I'm in Los Angeles and expected the process to take over a year, so I'm a little in shock how fast this has all gone!!

If the question asks for more than one answer, then you need to memorize as many answer as it asks for. If it doesn't ask for a certain number of answers, then you only need to know one. 

I suggest you listen to youtube videos instead, they're much more like the real test where someone asks a question and you answer. At the real test you don't get to read the questions, you don't get multiple choice answers etc. Youtube has a ton of citizenship test videos, pick one that suits you. Start out with a slow one, when you know the answers there are faster ones (like all 100 questions in 13 minutes, those videos are awesome).
