If you want to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, you must take a 15-questiontest. To help you study, we have published the same 100 questions the Immigration andNaturalization Service gives people to study. We divided them into sixstudy areas which can be used by students and teachers.


We have translated the questions into Spanish and Vietnamese. We invite you to help us translate into other world languages. Whether or not you are already a United States citizen, we challenge you to study the material and see if you can pass the test.



The team members who developed this site attended Mt. Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA, which is a suburb of Seattle..


On August 19, 1998, Nang became a United States citizen. She learned the test through workingwith this project. The others have parents who recently becamecitizens.

The team was coached by Jerre McQuinn who taught an HTML class at Mt.Rainier High School and byThalia Gregores who taught the students history at Pacific Middle Schoolthe year before.



There was a class that was developed to teach interested students how todevelop web sites using HTML.Approximately 20 students enrolled in the class. The classwas taught by Mrs. McQuinn. Students learned on their own pace. She also introduced the class to the contest(ThinkQuest). Many students were interested. Some of the students knewwho they were going toteam up with.

Phu Khanh's original idea was to develop a web site on Washington State history. He then teamed up with Cuong La. As they talkedmore, they decided they wanted to do something that will help immigrants(like all of the members in the team), so they decided to do the citizenship test page. At the same time, Nang was also looking for a team and got interested inthe citizenship project.



The questions that we use in our quiz come from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and are in the public domain. Translations were done by the team members. Some of the artwork originated on U.S. Government web sites (the constitution, the capitol andstatues) but was enhanced by the team for inclusion on this site. All graphics and text not originated by the team members risides in the public domain and is not subject to copyright restrictions.
