Citizenship · Writing Test Sentences

Write the sentence: 'The President signs bills into law.' Which word is spelled correctly?

Correct answer

President

  1. A President
  2. B Presodent
  3. C Prezident
  4. D Presedent

Why this is the answer

PRESIDENT — the correct spelling. P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T. The USCIS writing test requires writing a sentence that is spoken aloud by the interviewing officer. You must write clearly and legibly. The most commonly misspelled civic words: President (not Prezident); Congress (not Congres); Constitution (not Constitucion); Amendment (not Amendmant); representative (not representitive). Practice writing these words repeatedly to build muscle memory for correct spelling.
