US Citizenship Test Practice: 100 Civics Questions and Answers

Get ready for the civics part of the naturalization interview. Study the 100 US citizenship test questions and every accepted answer with flashcards, then check yourself with a 10-question civics test practice round: answer 6 correctly to pass, just like the real test. This is an independent study aid, not an official USCIS tool.

How to play US Citizenship Test Practice

• Flashcards: read a question, think of the answer (say it out loud, as you will in the interview), then tap the card to see every accepted answer. Mark it I knew it or Still learning. Study all 100, one section at a time, or only the cards you are still learning.
• Practice test: answer 10 random questions in multiple choice. You pass with 6 correct, the same pass mark as the civics test in the naturalization interview. Longer tests of 20 or all questions use the same 60% pass mark.
• After each answer you see all the answers USCIS accepts for that question, so you learn the alternatives too.
• Questions whose answer depends on where you live (your Senators, your Representative, your Governor and your state capital) appear in the flashcards with tips on where to look them up.
• Use Listen to hear each question read aloud. In the interview the officer asks the questions out loud and you answer out loud.

Controls

• Flashcards: Space flips the card, K = I knew it, L = still learning, ← → move between cards.
• Practice test: 1–4 or A–D picks an answer, Enter goes to the next question.

Tips

• Learn the answers that change: the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, Chief Justice and the President’s party. Check uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates shortly before your interview.
• Write down your own answers for the four "answers will vary" questions: your two U.S. Senators, your U.S. Representative, your Governor and your state capital.
• Numbers come up often: 27 amendments, 100 Senators, 435 Representatives, 6-year Senate terms, 2-year House terms, 4-year presidential terms and 9 Supreme Court justices.
• Use Still learning generously. Then pick Still learning in the card menu to drill only the hard ones.

FAQ

How many questions are on the US citizenship civics test?

With the 2008 version of the test, the officer chooses up to 10 questions from the list of 100 and asks them out loud. You must answer 6 correctly to pass the civics portion. USCIS has also introduced an updated 2025 version of the test, so check uscis.gov to see which version applies to your application.

Is this an official USCIS practice test?

No. GameReadyGo is an independent site and is not affiliated with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The civics questions and answers come from the public list published by the US government, but always use the official materials on uscis.gov to prepare.

Which answers can change?

Answers about people in office change with elections and appointments: the President, the Vice President, the President’s political party, the Speaker of the House and the Chief Justice. Answers about your own Senators, Representative, Governor and state capital depend on where you live.

What if I am 65 or older?

If you are 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for at least 20 years, you may only need to study a shorter set of 20 questions marked with an asterisk on the official list, and you may be able to take the test in your language. Check the official list on uscis.gov.

Do I need to give the exact wording?

No. The officer accepts answers that mean the same thing as an answer on the official list. Learn the idea behind each answer rather than memorising one exact sentence.
