Just the bio and if the passport validity was extended copy that page as well. That's what I did and they didn't even ask to see those copies. I wasted $1 for nothing !

The officer will just ask for your recent passports(last 4 years), ones you've supported with the application. You're always welcome to bring a photocopy of the bio page though, but they don't likely ask for it.

For the interview you should present the original passport or travel documents.
If you go there with a copy you'll end up with the infamous RQ.

Both the original passports AND the copies of the bio pages are required. They made it clear on the letter/invitation they send for the test

They got cheap on copying documents, huh; when I went for test back in 2007, there was a big xerox machine in waiting area and the officers were taking passport copies from selected individuals.
This time I didn't get to test/interview yet, but I take your word for it.

Good luck for your new citizenship application.

If you don't mind, could you please provide the reason for refusal?
I explained on a different thread:
