The Trump Administration is planning on making the citizenship exam more challenging and with a few new rule changes as well.

Some of these changes are adding more questions, instead of 10 questions it would be up to 20, another one is the passing bar as well from six out of 10 questions correct to now 12 out of 20 questions correct. Also potentially an essay requirement being added to the exam.

“I feel like it’s unfair and unjust because,” Carlos Barrera a Junior at MCHS says “people have already taken the exam past previous exams, and now that it’s trying to make it more difficult, it’s unfair because it’s not an equal chance for everyone in the past.”

With the sudden changes with the citizenship exam, many people think that it is unfair due to many people studying really hard. Some others also think that the citizenship exam is challenging enough as it is and think it’s not fair.

“I feel like, if you’re an immigrant and you don’t know much about this country,” said Barrera. “I don’t know how they can expect you to answer questions about the history of this country. And if they make it even harder, it’s pretty much you’re going in blind, you don’t know much.”

However, some people believe that the U.S. citizenship exam isn’t challenging at all, and the changes should be made to make it more challenging.

“Speaking in Washington last month,” explained by NPR, “USCIS Director Joseph Edlow said that the current test is ‘just too easy’ because some questions require simple answers, like naming the governor of an applicant’s home state, or two federal holidays.”
