What it isThe civics portion of the US naturalization interview

Question pool100 official civics questions

In the interviewThe officer asks up to 10 of the 100 questions

To passAnswer at least 6 of those 10 correctly

This describes the standard civics test. Always check the current official requirements with USCIS, as eligibility and some rules depend on your situation.

How to study for it

Because the officer draws from a fixed pool of 100 questions, the civics test rewards steady memorisation and recall. Working through the whole pool a few questions at a time, and reviewing the ones you miss, is far more effective than cramming the night before.

Trivio Quest's Citizenship Civics Test track covers that pool with plain-language explanations, so you understand the answer rather than just memorise it. The review queue reschedules the questions you get wrong, and timed practice gets you used to answering out loud under a little pressure, which is closer to the real interview.

The app is free to download, you can start as a guest, and a free account keeps your progress in sync if you switch between your phone and a tablet.
