How the citizenship civics test works
The 2025 civics test draws on a pool of 128 questions. At your interview the USCIS officer asks up to 20 of them out loud and you need 12 correct to pass. If you filed Form N-400 before October 20, 2025, you take the 2008 version instead: 100 questions, up to 10 asked, 6 correct to pass.
Some answers depend on where you live, such as your governor or your U.S. senators, so set your state on the home page and check that those answers are current before your interview.
Study in short sessions. Use flashcards to learn the answers, then the quiz to check that you can recall them without seeing the options, and finish with a full mock test a few days before the interview.
