 good preperation August 11, 2008

one of the few books I found to help study for 2008 test. Have bought one through Amazon and recommended to another person that bought at retail store. It was exactly what was tested. It's another story when it comes to some of the folks at USCIS and the whole naturalization process...
Basic but sufficient April 17, 2009

I am using this book to teach Citizenship class to US residents who want to become citizens. It is written is simple, basic English. It covers all the possible questions on the citizenship exam and includes sufficient practice exercises and a review section.
My current student likes this book but I find it to be a bit basic and simple. It does not provide much explanation or background, but is appropriate for those who are interested in passing the exam and who speak beginner-level English. I don't recommend it if your student (or you) want more background knowledge about US government or for more intellectual students who want more in-depth info about US civics and history.
Excellent preparation for the U.S.Citizenship exam March 22, 2009

Understandable and well organized. Takes you step-by-step through what you need to know as a U.S.Citizen. Read and learn and you will know more about your new country than most who are born here !
 Contains questions/answers from the 2008 citizenship test May 5, 2008

This is currently the only book on the market to adequately cover the 2008 revised citizenship exam. I've used it with my ESL literacy student and recently purchased a second copy for another ESL student. But in my limited experience, applying for citizenship requires filling out a great deal of paperwork, and no book on the planet makes that easy for a low-literacy immigrant or refugee. Many low-literacy applicants will still need professional help to work their way through the process. That's my criticism of the government and not a knock on this book.
 Wrong answer provided to Civics Exam question August 20, 2009

This book could receive high ratings, however there can be no excusing such basic editing carelessness resulting in what will mislead many citizenship applicants, and conceivably result in some of them failing their test.
On page 100, for question 52. When was the Constitution written? the answer is given as 1776. 1776 was the date of the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. Obviously this is wrong, the correct year is 1787.
