To become a naturalized US citizen one must pass the US citizenship test.
The US Citizenship Test is conducted orally during the interview and consists of questions about American history and governance.
The citizenship test has 100 questions. The officer from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will ask the applicant 10 of the 100 questions, and the applicant must properly answer 6 of the 10 questions in order to pass the test.
The citizenship test is a Civics Test on the American Government, American History, and Integrated Civics.
Note: *If you are 65 or older and have held a green card for 20 years or more, you can concentrate on the questions indicated with an asterisk because you will only be assessed on those questions.

These questions will put your knowledge of the American government to the test, including the principles of American democracy, the American system of government, and U.S. citizens’ obligations and rights.

Many people aspire to become citizens of the United States. The procedure is famously difficult and taxing, but for many, the most nerve-racking portion is taking the U.S. citizenship test. It’s so difficult, in fact, that only 36% of American citizens could pass it, according to NBCNews. The citizenship exam has 100 questions. The USCIS officer will ask the applicant 10 of the 100 questions, and the applicant must properly answer 6 of the 10 questions in order to pass the civics test.
A failure on the citizenship test might occur during either the English or civics sections. If a person fails either section of the examination, he or she must retake the failed portions no later than 60 to 90 days after the initial exam and interview. If he or she fails these sections a second time, he or she will be unable to retake the exam and will be denied citizenship by USCIS.
If you fail either of the exams during the interview, you will be scheduled for another interview within 60 to 90 days of the first, and you will be able to retake the examinations. If you fail either test a second time, your naturalization application will be rejected.
An applicant gets two chances to pass the civics tests: the original examination and the interview for re-examination. If the candidate fails to pass the test after two attempts, the citizenship application will be denied by the USCIS.
The civics test is an oral exam, and the USCIS officer will ask you ten questions from a list of 100 civics test questions. To pass the civics exam, you must properly answer 6 questions.
It should be noted that some of the above citizenship exam questions have more than one answer. The answers provided here, however, are those that the USCIS officer who conducts your test will be digging from you.
