How to use the study plan generator
Enter your interview date and the plan divides your preparation into four phases: understanding the questions by topic, memorizing with flashcards, practicing with random quizzes, and rehearsing the complete interview in English. If you have less than 30 days, every phase is shortened proportionally, but keep at least five days for full mock interviews; that final rehearsal is what most improves first-try pass rates.
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.
