How the 2025 civics test works
- USCIS has 128 civics questions for the 2025 test.
- At your interview, the officer asks you up to 20 of them, out loud.
- You pass with 12 correct answers.
- The officer stops as soon as you have 12 correct or 9 incorrect answers.
- This test is for people who file Form N-400 on or after October 20, 2025. If you filed before that date, you take the 2008 civics test.

Questions people ask
How many questions are on the 2025 citizenship test?
There are 128 civics questions. At your interview the officer asks up to 20, and you need 12 correct answers to pass.
When does the officer stop asking questions?
As soon as you have 12 correct answers (you pass) or 9 incorrect answers (you fail). The 9 incorrect answers do not have to be in a row.
Do I take the 2025 test or the 2008 test?
It depends on when you filed Form N-400. If you filed on or after October 20, 2025, you take the 2025 test. If you filed before that date, you take the 2008 test.
What is the 65/20 special consideration?
If you are 65 or older and have lived in the United States as a permanent resident for 20 years or more, you may study only the 20 questions marked with an asterisk. The officer asks 10 of them and you need 6 correct. You may take the civics test in the language of your choice.
What if a senator or governor changes before my interview?
Answer with the name of the person serving on the day of your interview. That is the USCIS rule. We show the date we last checked every name.
Is CitizenAce a government website?
No. CitizenAce is an independent study app. It is not affiliated with USCIS or the U.S. government. The questions and answers are copied word for word from the official USCIS list.
