I was initially under the impression that I need to go to the Library and read about US History or take a Civcs lesson something like that. It was heartening to note that in US Citizenship exam we will be asked only 96 questions that are found in the Book. Ah, both the questions and the answers are known. Do people still flunk this? I am really not sure. Most probably they do not have time to prepare (hmm... I do not intend to take more than a day to prepare.... I will find out whether this is sufficient).
There are certain questions, I do not know - why did the Pilgrims came to America? basic beliefs of the Declaration of Independence?; but most of them, are just very basic. Like...Who was the First President of United States? Who is the President of United States - come on, how many can live in a country and still not know who the chief executive is :-) ?
I also saw an interesting movie at USCIS.gov - A promise of Freedom - An introduction US History and Civics for Immigrants. There are other material available like Flash cards on the Exam.
Will update on the status later.
