Obviously this is wrong, the correct year is 1787. the answer is given as 1776. 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. 1776 was the date of the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
This is one of them. I have read a lot of books to help me prepare for my citizenship interview and so far, I only find 3 books that are truly helpful. It is very helpful especially to immigrants who are non-native English speakers. I borrowed this book from the library. I wanted to see if it is worth buying and it is. What I specifically like about this book is that it guides you on how to answer the immigration officer during the interview, what to say, how to reply to the questions, and how to pass the civics test.
My current student likes this book but I find it to be a bit basic and simple. It covers all the possible questions on the citizenship exam and includes sufficient practice exercises and a review section. 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. 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 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.
Takes you step-by-step through what you need to know as a U.S.Citizen. Understandable and well organized. Read and learn and you will know more about your new country than most who are born here.
Have bought one through Amazon and recommended to another person that bought at retail store. It's another story when it comes to some of the folks at USCIS and the whole naturalization process. one of the few books I found to help study for 2008 test. It was exactly what was tested.
