We were aware that our client was not understanding the questions and the answers because the questions involved many words that our client did not understand. We provided our client with practice tests and practice videos in Farsi, our client's native language. When he prepared that way, he understood the questions and answers of the civics test instead of memorizing the questions and answers without adequately understanding what he was reading in English.
