ABRAHAM LINCOLN is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under PEOPLE. Correct spelling is 'A-B-R-A-H-A-M L-I-N-C-O-L-N.' Common dictation sentences using Lincoln: 'Abraham Lincoln was the President during the Civil War.' 'Lincoln was the President in February.' 'Lincoln was an American President.' WRITING TEST FORMAT: the USCIS officer dictates ONE OF THREE sentences. The applicant writes the sentence on a tablet or paper. The applicant must get one of three sentences correct (in writing). Minor spelling errors may be acceptable if the meaning is clear, but applicants should aim for correct spelling especially of vocabulary words. Other PEOPLE on the writing vocabulary list: George Washington. Names of months and days of the week are also on the list and are commonly used in dictated sentences. PRACTICE TIP: write the vocabulary words multiple times until you can spell them correctly. Pay special attention to: silent letters (Lincoln has an L before the N); double letters; common confusion points. Print clearly — neat printing is generally easier to read than cursive for the officer.
