U.S. Citizenship Practice Test (2025 Civics Test)

Every question is from USCIS's official 2025 civics list: all 128, with the official acceptable answers. That list is public, so what you practice here is exactly what the officer can ask. The question bank covers American Government (72 questions), American History (46) and Symbols and Holidays (10).

Current-officials answers are filled in as of September 29, 2026. For the four questions that depend on where you live (your senators, representative, governor and state capital), look up your own answers before you start.

Interview Mode (closest to the real thing)

You get questions one at a time, just like the interview: up to 20, and the round ends when you reach 12 correct (pass) or 9 wrong (fail). Read the question, answer out loud before you reveal anything, then check the official answers and mark yourself right or wrong. Be strict. If you had to think for 20 seconds or said something that isn't on the list, count it wrong.

Multiple-Choice Quiz

Each round is 20 random questions from the official list, and 12 correct is a pass. The four questions whose answers depend on where you live are left out, because they have no single right answer. Each question shows one official answer mixed with three wrong ones. It's the fastest way to learn the list and to spot answers you confuse, like the 13th vs. 14th vs. 15th Amendment. Remember the real test is not multiple choice, so graduate to Interview Mode once you're scoring well here.

65/20 Mode

For applicants 65 or older with 20+ years as a permanent resident: 10 questions drawn from the 20 official 65/20 questions, and you pass with 6 correct, matching the real 65/20 test. The full list is on our 65/20 questions page.

• 2025 test (N-400 filed on or after Oct. 20, 2025): up to 20 questions, 12 correct to pass; the officer stops once you pass or fail.
• 65/20: 10 questions from the 20-question list, 6 correct to pass.
• 2008 test (filed before Oct. 20, 2025): up to 10 questions from a different list of 100, 6 correct to pass. This practice test uses the 2025 list, so it's the wrong tool if you're on the 2008 test.

There's no partial credit and no scaled score. Each answer is simply acceptable or not.

1. Write down every question you missed or hesitated on.
2. Study only those, out loud, until you can answer each in a few seconds.
3. Run another Interview Mode round. When you pass three rounds in a row without hesitating, you're ready for civics.
4. Don't forget English: practice with our reading and writing test sentences.

USCIS publishes the 128 questions, the 65/20 list and the vocabulary lists on its Study for the Test page. Check uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates for current answers right before your interview. Want the full list to read through? See all 128 questions and answers.
