About the USCIS Civics Test

The civics test is part of your naturalization interview. An officer asks you the questions out loud and you answer out loud, so the best practice is to recall the answer and say it, then check it.

There are two versions. The 2008 test draws from 100 questions and asks 10, with 6 correct to pass. The 2025 test draws from 128 questions and asks 20, with 12 to pass. Study the one that matches when you filed.

Some questions are about your own state, your senators, your representative, your governor, and your state capital. We fill those in for you so you learn the answers that count.

Frequently asked questions

It comes down to your filing date, not your interview date. If USCIS received your N-400 before October 20, 2025, you take the 100-question (2008) test; on or after that date, the 128-question (2025) test. Check the date on your receipt notice (Form I-797C) and study that version here.

You get a second chance. USCIS re-tests you on just the portion you failed, usually 60 to 90 days later at a follow-up interview. A first miss is not the end of your application, most people who keep studying pass the retest.

If you are 65 or older and have held your green card for at least 20 years, you study a shorter list of questions that USCIS marks specially, and you may take the test in your own language. We point this out so you do not over-study questions you will not be asked.

No. The civics test is spoken and the officer only needs the correct idea, so a short, correct answer counts. That is why we have you recall and say the answer rather than pick from a list.

Questions about current office-holders do change over time. We keep them current for 2026 and personalize the state-specific ones, your senators, representative, governor, and capital, so you never memorize someone who has left office.

The civics questions are federal and identical across the country. The only thing that differs is the small set of answers tied to where you live, which we fill in for your state.
