2025 civics test
Practice the US citizenship test on your phone
All 128 civics questions in short levels, with flashcards, listen mode and a mock interview that stops where the real one does.
No sign-up. Unit 1 and the first five levels of Unit 2 are free.
The test, in three numbers
Age 65 or older, with 20 years as a permanent resident? You study 20 questions. The officer asks 10, and 6 right answers pass.
How the course works
You learn a few questions at a time, hear them the way the officer asks, and rehearse the real test before the day.
Hear it the way the officer asks it
Listen mode reads each question aloud, then you answer. Flashcards, multiple choice and typed answers rotate inside every level, so you meet each question in more than one way.
- Typed answers forgive small typos and optional words
- After every question, see all the accepted answers
A mock interview that stops where the real one does
Twenty random questions, one at a time. It ends at 12 right answers for a pass or 9 wrong for a fail, then shows you what to review. Type your answers, or say them aloud and grade yourself.
- Live count of right and wrong, like the officer keeps
- Missed questions go straight into your review
Your state, your answers
Four questions depend on where you live. Pick your state and the capital fills in. You type your own senators, representative and governor, because they change after elections. D.C. and territory residents get the kind of answer the test expects.
- Quizzes you on the answers you saved
- Links to look up your officials
Short levels
About eight questions each. Three hearts, combo bonuses, a daily streak and badges keep you coming back.
Review that comes back
Questions you miss return soon. Ones you know return later, so your study time goes where it helps.
Names that change
Some answers change after elections. Those cards say so and tell you where to check before your interview.
65/20 mode
One switch limits the course to the 20 starred questions and runs the mock interview as 10 questions.
Easy to read
Large type, big buttons, light and dark colors, and a larger text switch for tired eyes.
Nothing to install
It runs in your phone's browser. No account, and your progress stays on your device.

Advocates explain waivers and character letters under the new neighborhood review
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center's October 2026 advisory says USCIS may waive a neighborhood investigation when an applicant sends enough testimonial or character reference letters. It also says missing letters alone cannot justify a finding of bad moral character.
USCIS ends the general waiver of neighborhood investigations for citizenship applicants

Common questions
How many questions are on the 2025 civics test?
The 2025 civics test uses a bank of 128 questions. The USCIS officer asks up to 20 of them out loud, and you must answer at least 12 correctly to pass.
Who takes the 2025 version of the civics test?
Applicants whose Form N-400 was filed on or after October 20, 2025 take the 2025 version.
What is the 65/20 rule?
If you are 65 or older and have been a lawful permanent resident for 20 or more years, you may study only the 20 questions marked with an asterisk. The officer asks 10 of them and you must answer 6 correctly. You may also take the test in the language of your choice.
Do any answers change?
Yes. Some answers change after elections or appointments, such as the President, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House and the Chief Justice. You must give the name of the official serving at the time of your interview. Check uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates before your interview.
What are the state questions?
Four questions depend on where you live: your U.S. senator, your U.S. representative, your governor and your state capital. Residents of Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories have special answers in the official study guide. On the My State tab you type your own answers, and the course quizzes you on them.
