Which civics test should I take?
It depends on when you filed your application.
- Take the 100-Question (2008 version) if you filed before October 20, 2025. In the interview, the USCIS officer asks up to 10 civics questions and you must answer 6 correctly to pass.
- Take the 128-Question (2025 version) if you filed on or after October 20, 2025. In the interview, the USCIS officer asks up to 20 civics questions and you must answer 12 correctly to pass.
Not sure which applies to you? Check your USCIS receipt notice or call your local USCIS office, then practice with the version that matches your interview.
How our USCIS civics practice test works
Each round pulls 10 random questions from the official USCIS pool for the version you chose. You answer, get instant scoring, and see the correct answer right away — the same format and wording USCIS uses in the real interview, so practice feels like the actual exam.
Listen to each question and answer with built-in audio, which helps if English isn’t your first language. Repeat as many times as you want; questions reshuffle every round.
Questions are based on the official USCIS civics test — both the 100-question (2008) and 128-question (2025) versions. Source: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
