The American Civics test is an examination that all immigrants must pass to gain U.S. citizenship. The test asks 10 randomly selected questions which cover U.S. history, the constitution and government. In 2015 Arizona became the first state to require High School students to pass the test before they graduate.

Not required, but understanding of language, history and government would add to a point-based system, which takes into account other aspects such as socio-economic status, level of education, employment, and so on
@93H5NQY2yrs2Y
Meanwhile they do all the business. The question is hipocrasy. Phds, engineers, software people, scientists, labor force... Do you think that all the Swedes are aware of their history?
@93B75JX2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for basic language and culture
@9SMRXJR3mos3MO
They should be allowed citizenship after understanding the language with the history and government being less important unless they are the legal voting age and up. Most important thing to understand is mainly whats respectable in public so that there is less distributive.

@94SYK442yrs2Y
Yes, but it should be considered only for immigrants applying for permanent citzenship after living in the country for the minimum required time (5 years)
@94SS7QR2yrs2Y
In some fields Swedish and English should both be acceptable
@928PSFC3yrs3Y
No, only people born in Sweden to Swedish parents should be able to attain citizenship
