About the test
About the US Citizenship Test
The U.S. naturalization test is a requirement for anyone applying for American citizenship. During your interview, a USCIS officer will ask you up to 10 questions from a bank of 128 civics questions. You must answer at least 6 correctly to pass.
In 2025, USCIS expanded the civics test from 100 to 128 questions, covering American government, history, geography, and civic values. The questions test your knowledge of how the United States works - from the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to current government officials and national symbols.
StudyPass covers every single one of the 128 official questions, with detailed explanations to help you understand the context behind each answer.
