How to use this practice quiz

Each quiz pulls 20 questions at random from the official list and follows the real interview format, ending at 12 correct or 9 incorrect. Take it once a day and write down every question you miss. When you pass three days in a row with 12 correct in 14 questions or fewer, you are ready. Practice saying the answers out loud, because the real test is oral and has no answer choices.

The USCIS civics test (2025 version) draws from an official list of 128 questions. At your naturalization interview the officer asks up to 20 questions in English and you pass once you answer 12 correctly; the test stops at 12 correct or 9 incorrect answers. You must also read one sentence and write one sentence in English. Applicants who are 50 with 20 years as a permanent resident, or 55 with 15 years, may take the civics test in their own language with an interpreter, and applicants who are 65 with 20 years study only 20 designated questions.
