Washington: US President Joe Biden administration has announced the reversal of the stringent Trump-era policy by reverting to the 2008 version of the naturalization test module to make the path to US citizenship more accessible to all eligible individuals.

“The 2008 civics test was thoroughly developed over a multi-year period with the input of more than 150 organisations, which included English as a second language experts, educators, and historians, and was piloted before its implementation.

Previous Trump administration had introduced some changes to the naturalization civics test, called the 2020 civics test, which increased the number of questions from 100 to 128 and the correct answers in the multiple-choice questions had political and ideological overtones.
