U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced through a social media post that it has successfully revised the naturalization test taken by thousands of applicants each year seeking U.S. citizenship. The agency said the updated exam is intended to ensure that future citizens understand both the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship, as well as what it means to be American.
The changes were first signaled in September, when lawful permanent residents applying for naturalization began encountering a revamped civics test designed to be longer, more demanding and more subjective than earlier versions.
