Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About the U.S. Citizenship Test

How many questions are on the U.S. citizenship test?↓
For most applicants, the civics test is drawn from a pool of 100 official questions (the 2008 test version). During your interview, a USCIS officer asks you up to 10 questions orally. You must answer at least 6 questions correctly (60%) to pass. Once you answer 6 correctly, the officer stops the test.
What are the recent U.S. citizenship test changes?↓
USCIS periodically pilots and updates test questions. However, the standard test administered to naturalization applicants remains the 2008 100-civics questions test. The version you take is determined strictly by your N-400 application filing date. Use our Test Changes & Eligibility Calculator to determine your exact test format.
What is the 65/20 Senior Exemption?↓
If you are 65 years old or older and have lived in the United States as a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) for at least 20 years, you qualify for the 65/20 special consideration. You only study 20 designated questions marked with an asterisk (*), need 6 out of 10 correct to pass, and may take the test in your native language with an interpreter.
What happens if I fail the civics test?↓
If you do not pass the civics test or the English test at your initial interview, USCIS gives you a second opportunity. You will be re-tested on the portion you failed within 60 to 90 days of your initial interview date.
Is the naturalization exam multiple-choice in real life?↓
No, the real test is NOT multiple choice. The USCIS officer speaks each question aloud in English, and you must respond aloud with an accepted answer. This is why our platform emphasizes oral speech practice and audio synthesis over simple multiple-choice quizzes.
Where do these 100 questions come from?↓
All 100 civics questions are the official USCIS test bank (2008 version). USCIS publishes this list at uscis.gov/citizenship. During your naturalization interview, the officer draws from this exact pool. The version you take is determined by your N-400 filing date. Our feed is updated to match the most current official test bank.
Can I use this data in my own app or AI assistant?↓
Yes. We provide a free JSON feed at /questions.json with all 100 questions, answers, categories, and metadata. It's designed for integration with AI assistants, study tools, chatbots, and research. CORS is enabled for cross-origin access.
