I've heard that the interview questions are answered orally. ie. it's not multiple choice.

so, my lawyer has provide me with a couple of sheets that have questions and and answers on them but the INS's site has the two PDFs in narrative format on the us government structure and us history.

which is the best way to prepare for the exam at the interview?
 
Once you are fully aware of the questions in the "question-bank" you should be fine. It was very basic and nothing outside of the ordinary. You have to get 6/10 right to pass. Some people have the same thing written (mark off in a paper)

steffi. I would suggest reading some basic books on History and Government. One of the easiest books to read is by Kenneth Davis. It is written for juniors, and makes it a very easy read for any one who wants to learn about History without spending a lot of time.

You could also read the Cliff Notes titled "American Government".

The purpose of the 100 questions is meant to be a sample of what the interviewer may ask. Some interviewers are crafty enough to ask questions outside the 100 questions list while some others routinely modify the words in the question to test your knowledge.

I am not diminishing the importance of 100 questions, because those are surely used. But the intention of the questions are to test your knowledge of History and Government... not just to test your ability to memorize the 100 questions and answers. Hence the 2 books I suggest in this post.

Live happy.

678 pages? Whoa.

Also look at the review by the reader -

"For those who 'don't know much' this is a perfect introduction
Many years ago, my AP U.S. history teacher recommended I read this book as I prepare for the AP exam. It keeps information basic, but interesting. It provides facts my students need to understand while making people and events easy to understand. It is not a detailed account of American history, but an excellent, easy, and fun-to-read introduction for those wanting to learn more. And for those who are no longer students, it keeps the reader interested and is great for short reading periods as it is divided into many sections."

I took the AP US History exam and it was MUCH MUCH MORE info that I would think anyone would need for an interview test...

My two cents...

Dont judge a book by number of pages. This book is meant for juniors. That means, any decent IQ adult should be able to read this whole book on a flight from NYC to Dallas. It has many pictures, and anecdotes that make it a fast page turner. We are not talking about AP US History. This book is suggested by many attorneys as a good foundation to understand US history.

Read my post again, I am not saying not to read the 100 questions. I am saying read this book in addition to the 100 questions to get a much broader understanding. If you get one of those USCIS officers who prefers to go beyond the 100 sample questions, this book would help you. Even if you are not asked anything in addition to the 100 sample questions, additional knowledge never hurt anyone.

There's more to it than that. Instead of providing an unreferenced canned response from another website you may want to refer to the naturalization guide.
