One of the requirements for obtaining US citizenship is to pass a civics exam.
This exam covers important aspects of US history and government, and is given in English during naturalization interviews at the offices of USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). The exam has ten questions and applicants must answer at least six correctly to pass.

Some questions may be related to current office holders. For example, applicants may be asked which party does the sitting President belong to, or who their current senators are. The answers to these questions may change with elections or with political appointments. So it is important to study with updated information.

In Anchorage, several programs help immigrants and refugees to prepare themselves for citizenship exams.
Alaska Literacy Program offers classes from Tuesday to Thursday from 9 through 12:30. The next group will begin sessions on June 11. The cost of the classes is calculated according to the income of each student; all students must buy a textbook that costs $35.
