Advocates for immigrants are fearful that a new citizenship test in the works from the Biden administration will be too hard.
The current test in use is from 2008, according to The Associated Press. The Trump administration revised the test in 2020, which advocates deplored as being too difficult. In 2021, the Biden administration tossed out the Trump-era test and went back to the one that had been replaced.
The new test is expected to be used next year. More than 1 million immigrants became U.S. citizens in fiscal year 2022, one of the highest levels since 1907.
Sara Goodman, a political science professor at the University of California, Irvine, told the AP the current test is easier than citizenship tests used by nations such as Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom.
She said the test requires a “high beginner” level of English, and those taking it can have access to a question bank with answers before taking the test.
