​"If you were born in the United States, you’re automatically a U.S. citizen. But immigrants who live in the U.S. have to apply to become U.S. citizens. About 700,000 immigrants go through the lengthy process of becoming naturalized each year.

One of the final steps is taking a civics test covering American government, history, geography, and holidays. Applicants for U.S. citizenship are asked 10 questions from a list of 100, and they must answer at least 6 correctly to pass. The average pass rate is 91 percent."
