ppl,
i was just surfing the net and stumbled across this thing...it says one can take a civic test upto a year before the interview...but i am not sure how old or how reliable this site is...
Also i spoke to a friend who said it is in the best interest of the candidate that they take the test on the interview date as they can kill some time....
but just in case some junior members like me were interested

Yes, in the past INS used to accept standardized citizenship tests (e.g. the "New Citizens Exam" conducted by ETS) and even English language tests (like TOEFL) taken within one year of the interview. However, I am pretty sure that is no longer the case - i.e. now it is only conducted by USCIS officers at the interview.

The questions haven't changed much over the years so those should help you prepare. You can find other "100 questions" lists on various websites (do a web search). Most recently they have changed some of the questions slightly and now it's "96 questions".

You might also want to prepare through USCIS' own study guides:
US History - http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/ushist.pdf
Govt Structure - http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/usstruct.pdf
"quick civics lesson" - http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/citizenship/flashcards/M-638.pdf

and take an online quiz for practice:

Good luck with your interview.
