Guides
Plain-English (and 中文 / Español) help for the citizenship test — what to study, what the interview is like, and the rules that trip people up.
How to pass the civics test
A realistic study plan: flashcards first, then mock tests, plus how to handle the answers that change.
What really happens at the interview
A walk through interview day — check-in, the oath, the civics questions, and the part most people don't expect.
The reading & writing test
There's an English literacy part too. It's short and very passable — here's exactly how it works.
Can you test in your own language? (50/20, 55/15, 65/20)
Age + green-card-years can exempt you from English, or shrink the civics list to 20 questions. Who qualifies, plainly.
What changed in the 2025 test
128 questions instead of 100, 20 asked instead of 10. Which version applies to you, and why it matters.
