Yes, there are different set of civics test questions. However is this website stating it correctly?

http://aenet.esuhsd.org/Citizenship_lessons/Citizen/prac_fi.html

Many of the questions from tests 11 and 12 use different words than are used in the 100 USCIS Questions and some of the questions are for applicants who are 65 are older.

However, younger applicants might be asked these questions also. Therefore, all citizenship applicants should know the answers to the questions in these two tests also.

Should younger applicants also study the 65 and older questions set? I didnt think so, but wanted to see what this forum thought.

The bigger question was the different set of questions for 65 and older compared to the rest, and should we learn both sets?

Yea I was thinking about that too... I guess when we should compare both sets to make sure they are similar....

I wouldn't go by what an external site tells you and concentrate on what it says on the USCIS site instead:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=bb93667706f7d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD

The current test requires you to answer 6 questions correctly out 10 correctly from a pool of 96 questions. The new test will have a pool of 100 questions.

Ahm,

doesn't N-400 application say that from a certain age on you don't have to take the civics test?

No. The exemption based on age only pertains to the English test.

(a) If you are over 50 years old and
have lived in the United States as
a Permanent Resident for periods
totaling at least 20 years, you do
not have to take the English test. You
do have to take the civics test in the
language of your choice.
(b) If you are over 55 years old and
have lived in the United States as
a Permanent Resident for periods
totaling at least 15 years, you do
not have to take the English test. You
do have to take the civics test in the
language of your choice.
(c) If you are over 65 years old and
have lived in the United States as
a Permanent Resident for periods
totaling at least 20 years, you do not
have to take the English test, but you
do have to take a simpler version of the
civics test in the language of your choice.
 
Thanks Bob,

seems people over the age of 65 running for President should do the same. *smirk*

Doesn't make sense that if you have been here for 20 years on GC, but then we all know this is flawd. Brings up the question of who is going to apply for a job at USCIS or TSA after the Oath? I won't. But running for an office, I might get a kick out of. :)

Ahhhnold - Watch out!!

Yeah, kinda silly rule since the you figure the longer you have lived here the better your chances of English comprehension are.
