USCIS has released a new version of the naturalization civics test. There are 128 questions total, of which 20 will be asked. Candidates must answer 12 of these 20 correctly. uscis.gov/citizenship-re…

interesting to see what questions got added. this seems to be a new one

Here is a test question whose "correct" answer changed from past test (1st image) to new one (2nd image). And another similar q added about House (3rd).
Perhaps thematically related to Trump administration's ongoing efforts to change who the census should count for apportionment

That is, in official naturalization civics test question about whom US senators/representatives represent, Trump admin changed the correct answer from “all people” to just “citizens."

Con law profs out there -- how would you evaluate this answer if given on homework?

This question also appears to be new

Minor change here from old test (left) to new (right) -- name three rights, rather than two

Another apparently new question

Also lol to the addition of this new question. Should be a disclaimer that it doesn't apply to POTUS

Maybe this one too

More allowable answers to revised question about why colonists fought British/declared independence from Britain. Old question/answers on left, new on right

New question added about notable Revolutionary War events

Sorry Poor Richard, your almanac is no longer an acceptable answer for q about why Benjamin Franklin is famous. Inventions now matter though! (some other changes too - old q on left, new on right)

Hamilton has also been upgraded -- gets his own question on the citizenship test now! In old test he just came up as 1 of 4 possible answers to question about Federalist Papers authorship #nonstop

This question, from old test, about what led to the Civil War is now gone.

This question appears to be new

This question is new (though there was a question just about Susan B. Anthony on old test)

New question about why US entered WWI

Two new questions about when men and women got right to vote
(civil rights historians might dispute these answers...)

new questions about Great Depression

new question about why US entered WWII (similar to question earlier in thread, about WWI)

Reframing of question (now questions plural) about the Cold War -- what were we concerned about, and who was our rival. Old test question on left, new test questions on right.

These questions -- about our reasons for wars in Korea and Vietnam -- are new as well.

So many new questions about why we entered wars!

this fits too with that theme

Another new question, about examples of U.S. innovation. IMHO Broadway musical, jazz, other cultural contributions should be allowable answers on this list 🎶

New Latin question

And, in keeping with the many new questions about U.S. military history, two other new questions about purpose of Memorial Day and Veterans Day

Revised "We the People" question, which I forgot to include earlier, is a bit odd. Old question left, new one right.

Here's one I missed:

Most of the old test's geography questions are gone (except remaining question about location of Statue of Liberty)

Yes thank you I see all your tweets about how badly Tommy Tuberville would do on this test
