The NH Bar Foundation and the NH Bar Association are collaborating on a civics education and awareness initiative that brings a presentation based on a test that all applicants for naturalization must pass. The presentations pose the question: Do most citizens know enough about US government to pass this test themselves? What does that say about our level of awareness as citizens in a democracy?
This year, Civics in Action is focusing on making entertaining, informative, interactive presentations to EVERY Rotary Club in New Hampshire between Constitution Day and Law Day on May 1, 2012.
| Can You Pass the Test? | This is a link to self-study tool. The actual civics test is NOT a multiple choice test. The civics test is an oral test. During a naturalization interview, the candidate is asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. At least 6 out of 10 questions must be answered correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test.
