CLEP will send the official results to Hawkeye Community College. A maximum of 30 credits may be earned by examination while earning a degree at Hawkeye. The INS requires that you have some knowledge of U.S. history and government and written English to become a citizen. You must take a test to prove this. You can do this at your INS interview, or you can take the ACT Citizenship Test at a test center.
Some people feel that taking the test at a test center is more comfortable and less stressful.
And, by taking the test now, you can be sure you have met that requirement before the interview. The choice is yours. You can register to take the test in two ways. If you register by mail before the test day, it costs less and you will be guaranteed a seat and materials at the test center. If you walk in to the test center and register on the test day, it costs more and there may not be room for you.
