A new test debuted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will ask naturalization applicants to answer twice as many questions and will require twice as many correct answers.

The USCIS released the 2020 oral test on Nov. 13. Prospective citizens will be given 20 questions to answer, up from 10 on the test given since 2008. The test-takers must answer 12 of the questions correctly to pass, compared to six on the old exam.
