Usually, those exams are full of what some might call "trick questions." They want you to read very carefully and decide what the issue is being presented. With each question, think "What principle do they want to prove that I know by asking this question?" \n\nYou will have success if you take all the practice tests you can, and find out the reasons for the answers marked incorrectly. You probably already know the material, but need some specific knowledge on how the exam is delivered.

Swearology\nYou can probably get a govt. grant to study it, but only if you pee on your proposal first, and take pics of it...

i think this should be required as part as their citizenship requirements. this country was founded on english beleifes and the constitution is written in english so why not.

yeah, it was easy. That's the great thing about this country: if you study for an exam, you'll pass. BUt on the timing part, here's my advice, if you don't know what to do as soon as you finish reading the questions, then chances are you're going to waste time trying to figure out something. First work on all the questions that you know at least 90% how to answer, then go back and try to solve the other questions.

Hello, the CHSPE really isn't all that hard but I do suggest studying a bit for it. The English part is extremely easy. I think that the stories are at 4th grade level and the questions are common sense. The grammar part is easy too. The Writing part is easy but I did take me some time to write about it. My topic was: Do you think that minors should have a curfew? Do you think they should be in at a certain time? \n\nAnother one was: What, in your opinion, is the most difficult stage of life, childhood, teenage, adult, or old age.\n\nThe Math part is a bit hard and I do suggest studying for this. Just take your time and read the questions carefully. A few of them are easy as can be but there are a few hard ones. \n\n3 1/2 hours is really not enough time if you want to take your time and thoroughly check your work after. I suggest doing the math part first. \n\nYou should do fine. Go ahead and take it. The website is chspe.net. Did you pass the exit exam. The math part on the exit exam is easier than the math part on the CHSPE so if you didn't pass the math part on the exit exam, you might fail it on the CHSPE.

Use the most basic common sense you have.  Obey all rules, regulations and laws.  Be responsible specially for your own actions and words.  Enjoy your new citizenship yet never forget your mother land and her beautiful custom.  Be proud of yourself but do not be overbearing.

I takes a few major things:\n\n    * a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States;\n    * residence in a particular USCIS District prior to filing;\n    * an ability to read, write, and speak English;\n    * a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government;\n    * good moral character;\n    * attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and,\n    * favorable disposition toward the United States. \n\nI became a citizen by means of my father.  The rules have changed I believe since I went through naturalization but I gained my citizenship by showing that my father resided in the US for a period of 7 years after he reached the age of 18.  This was easily done by procuring my father's college transcripts.  Apparently, it's a little easier now for children of Americans.  My father took the oath for me as I was under the age of 18 at the time but the only costs involved maybe amounted to $100.  I now have duel citizenship in Canada and the US.  If you do duel citizenship, you don't give one up when you're 18 btw. . .I'm a college graduate now and never have a received a call from the naturalization office telling me I had to give up any of my rights as a citizen of either country.  My mother is currently petitioning for citizenship and will be taking her test within the next few months.  The cost for hers is again, marginal at best but she's been here under a green card for a number of years and found it would be cheaper to get her citizenship than to continue to pay her greencard every 10 years.

I don't know how the exact words to use in your pamphlet, however, I could tell you what components you should include in your pamphlet:\n\n1) Your Name (This is important! People must know you you are!)\n2) Your Rationales (objective)(eg. to improve the studying conditions of puplis/students, etc.)(It must be clear)\n3) Your Methodologies (what you plan to do and how. You can reinforce this with your current achievements)(again, it must be very clear)\n4) Your Conclusion (do not tell grandfather stories)\nIt need not be very long. Limit the number of words to around 100 words.\n\nOne note of caution though, do not put in unrealistic sentences such as :" If you vote for me, I will assure you that your wildest dreams/desires will come through." People will then have a very high expectation of you, so if you win the election and people's wildest dreams do not come through, you will be in a lot of trouble.\n\nPS. Please make sure you do not make the words too small as that would look like a mini essay to you. If you were one of the target audience, would you be bothered with an election essay? Nobody would be interested.\nA BIG and flashy title ought to do the trick.

get a sample test book from your library.  It'll give you a good idea of the format of the questions.  Every state has different requirements so people here can't help you, what applies in their state might not apply to your state.

Under current US law, there is no strict limitation on your English skills.I know many US citizen who barely mutter a few words in English.\nIn my country, you go thru a hard fluency exam and you must have lived there for at least 3 years. They don't just hand out citizenship to anyone, but I come from Europe and we do have an identity to keep and be proud of. We are NOT a rootless immigrant society like US...They have nothing to lose by letting foreigners in. We do.

It should be made the national language...and a requirement for anyone who wishes to emigrate to the US to learn before permanent residency or citizenship is awarded.

You'll need to take (and fluently learn) several languages. Add political science courses, and some psychology and anthropology wouldn't be amiss either. Your best bet is to try for an Ivy League school. You'll also need to get some connections in upper political circles, so start working on interning with your congresspersons.

I couldn't afford the courses either (over a grand for some help? No ma'am!) but I did pretty much the same thing you did. I got a couple of help books, went to different websites that gave me free practice tests, got an idea of what the test was all about by starting all this about six months before the actual exam and I ended up scoring at 1400 (this is the old SATS, out of 1600). \n\nIf you can get a group together to do faux practice tests, it'll work out even better. Me and my friend would compare how we got different answers. Even if we both got them right, it was helpful to see how someone else deduced the answer and ended up helping me out a lot on the test because I could try to answer hard questions using a different method. \n\nGood luck on your committee. It definitely sounds like a very good way to prepare our hispanic youth for their futures
