2020 U.S. Citizenship test

Hello Program Management Colleagues,

You may be aware that the U.S. Citizenship test has been changed, and that after the December first registration deadline everyone who wishes to take the test will need to take the new 2020 version.  Those who are familiar with this change might like to know that the questions are now available online at https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/2020test . Those who may not have known that there is a new version of the test may find the same link helpful.

I would like to hear how adult ESOL/ESL teachers/instructors/tutors and their students experience the differences in the new test. Are the increased number of questions and the percent needed to pass the test a serious or minor obstacle for students, or are they insignificant? Is the new test as fair as the 2008 version? What other changes do you and your students observe?
