2025 U.S. citizenship civics test guide

Learn which USCIS civics test applies to you, how the 128-question bank is used, and where to practice for free.

Which test applies?

Use the 2025 civics test if you filed Form N-400 on or after October 20, 2025. If you filed before that date, study for the 2008 test.

For the standard 2025 test, the USCIS officer asks up to 20 oral questions from the bank of 128. You need at least 12 correct answers to pass.

Choose your edition and answer a short set before opening the explanations.
Review each answer you missed, then say the answer aloud without reading it.
Check USCIS answer updates near your interview, especially for elected officials and appointees.

Translations are study aids. If you qualify for a language exception, check USCIS’s rules on exceptions and accommodations, including 65/20 special consideration.
