← U.S. Citizenship Test
Five practice tests covering every question in the official 2008 civics bank whose answer does not change — 90 of the 100.
Take these if you filed Form N-400 before 20 October 2025. In the real test the officer asks up to 10 questions and you need 6 correct.
There are two live versions of the civics test, and the date on your application decides which one you sit. Filed before 20 October 2025 and this is your bank: 100 questions, 10 asked, 6 to pass. Filed on or after that date and you take the 2025 test instead — a different bank of 128, with 20 asked and 12 to pass.
The two lists overlap in subject matter but they are not the same. They word questions differently, they accept different answers, and the 2008 bank asks about things the 2025 one dropped entirely. If your interview has not happened yet and you filed a while ago, this is almost certainly the right place.
A whole geography section, for one: the two longest rivers, the ocean on each coast, a U.S. territory, a state bordering Canada, a state bordering Mexico. Also the two major political parties, the month we vote for president, the tax filing deadline, who becomes president if both the president and vice president cannot serve, and what happened at the Constitutional Convention.
If you have been revising from material written for the newer test, those are exactly the questions you will not have seen.
The real test is spoken: the officer asks and you answer in your own words. Nothing here pretends otherwise — the spoken practice in this track is what rehearses that.
What multiple choice does well is the thing that decides most of these questions: telling apart two facts that sound alike. Wilson against Roosevelt. The Pacific against the Atlantic. 100 senators against 435 representatives against 535 together. The Speaker of the House, who is second in line, against the Vice President, who is first. Nearly every wrong option here is a real fact from somewhere else in the bank, and the explanation says where it belongs.
Ten questions in the 2008 bank ask who currently holds an office, or depend on which state you live in — and one of them, the number of Supreme Court justices, the bank itself now answers with a link rather than a number. USCIS accepts only the answer that is true on the day of your interview, so a fixed key would be teaching you something stale. Those are handled separately in this track.
The questions and answers come from the official USCIS bank, a work of the United States government. The practice format, the wrong options and the explanations are Zestly's own.
