I will add another Useful tool here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.gordons.uscitizenship2011Edition&hl=enthis is an android app that will drill all 100 questions, the phone speaks the questions as well as displays the question, and then provides the answers.

I also have the 100 questions on a CD, and can rip them to MP3, I will post them for you all sometime in the next few days.

A while back I had posted about a page I had created for my wife to help her practice for the N-400 US Citizenship test. It was hosted at http://discoverseatt...et/citizenship/. I'd mentioned it here so that other people could use it if they wanted to. I sort of forgot about the page and didn't pay much attention to it.

 

Well, apparently word got out, lol, and the page started getting boatloads of traffic. I had no idea. I only found out when my wife pointed me to an article one of her clients had recently written about it: American Citizen. (It's kind of a cute article, and yeah, that's my wife the lady is talking about

 

Now, the last time I looked it had maybe 30,000 questions taken. But when I went back and looked I saw that it now had over 1.5 million questions taken so far (!!). So, I guess a lot of people are using it (duh).

 

Because of the traffic and apparent popularity, I decided to move it to a dedicated domain. You can now find the N-400 US Citizenship test at: uscitizentest.net.

 

I'd like to improve the site a bit, but I'm not sure what would be useful. If you have any suggestions, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. But in any case, I'll be updating it whenever any of the questions or answers change. Please feel free to send people there if they're getting ready to take the N-400 US Citizenship test.
