Civics Practice Test — Free 2025 & 2008 Citizenship Test Practice
USCIS now runs two versions of the civics test. Filed your N-400 on or after October 20, 2025? You take the 2025 test — 20 questions from the official 128, pass at 12. Filed earlier? The 2008 test — 10 questions from 100, pass at 6. Both are here free, with every answer explained, no timer (the real interview has no clock), no sign-up.

- 128 official questions · 20 asked, pass at 12
- Six sections · 20 starred questions for the 65/20 rule
- Spanish: community translation (official version not yet published)
- 100 official questions · 10 asked, pass at 6
- Nine sections · 20 starred questions for the 65/20 rule
- Full official Spanish — the only version USCIS published in Spanish
Practice the 2025 test by section
Drill one section at a time with instant feedback — then put it together on the mock exam. Counts exclude the 4 personalized, state-specific questions (your senators, your capital…): they appear in the question bank only, because a multiple-choice mock cannot grade them honestly.
All 100 official questions with explanations, the 10-question mock at the official 6-of-10 line, and the only officially published Spanish version of either test.
How to practice
Match your N-400 filing date to the right bank above — 2025 filers drill the 128-question bank, earlier filers the 100-question one.
Untimed, instant verdicts and explanations. Build recall question by question and keep your streak alive.
Random questions at the official pass line — 12 of 20 on the 2025 test, 6 of 10 on the 2008 test — with no clock, exactly like test day.
Frequently asked questions
Which civics test do I take — 2025 or 2008?
It depends on when you filed Form N-400. Filed on or after October 20, 2025: the 2025 test (20 questions from the official 128, pass at 12). Filed before that date: the 2008 test (10 questions from 100, pass at 6). The filing date decides, not the interview date.
Are these the real USCIS questions?
The civics questions and answers for both versions are published by USCIS as public-domain government material; this site reproduces them faithfully and adds the multiple-choice format and the explanations. It is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with USCIS.
How does the mock exam compare to the real civics test?
At the interview, a USCIS officer asks the questions out loud — 20 on the 2025 test, 10 on the 2008 test — and stops when you reach the pass line. The mocks here draw the same number at random, apply the same pass lines, and — because the real interview has no clock — set no timer.
Can I practice in Spanish?
The 2008 test is fully available in Spanish — USCIS published an official Spanish version, and every question here carries it. The 2025 test has been published in English only so far; Spanish for the 2025 bank is being added as a community translation, marked as such until an official version exists.
Which questions can I skip if I am 65 or older?
Applicants who are 65+ and have been permanent residents for 20+ years study only the 20 starred questions — both versions have 20, and all are tagged in each question bank. The 65/20 rule and the other exemption (55/15, in your native language) are covered in the eligibility guide.
