Citizenship test pass rate over 95%
"Just over two years ago, USCIS implemented a new test for naturalization applicants. As a final step in the test redesign process, we looked into how applicants performed on this new test. A recently completed study (conducted by ICF International) found an overall pass rate of 95.8 percent for the new test during fiscal year 2010, the first full year during which the test was administered. In recent years, USCIS has made tremendous strides in offering citizenship preparation resources, and this study shows how our efforts are paying off." - USCIS, Dec. 20, 2011.
