Becoming a U.S. citizen is a big step. One important part of the process is the U.S. civics test. This test asks questions about American history and government.
The good news? You do not have to study alone — and you do not have to spend money. The official website of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offers free tools to help you prepare.
Here are the best free USCIS resources to help you pass your civics test with confidence.
USCIS provides the full list of 128 civics questions and answers for free.
During your naturalization interview, the officer will ask up to 12 questions from this list. You must answer 12 questions correctly to pass the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test. You will fail the test if you answer 9 of the 20 questions incorrectly.
Because these are the official questions, studying directly from the USCIS website helps you focus on the right material. No guessing. No outdated information.
Not everyone learns best by reading. USCIS understands this.
On the USCIS website, you can find:
Listening to the questions can help improve pronunciation and memory. This is especially helpful if English is not your first language.
Your citizenship journey matters — and we are here to help.
USCIS offers a free mobile app called the USCIS Civics Test Study Tools app.
With this app, you can:
This makes it easier to study during lunch breaks, on the bus, or at home.
The naturalization test also includes a short English reading and writing test.
USCIS provides:
Studying these official word lists helps you know exactly what type of words may appear during your interview.
The USCIS website explains:
Understanding the process can reduce fear and help you feel prepared.
There are many study guides online. But not all of them are correct or updated.
Using official USCIS materials ensures:
When preparing for something as important as citizenship, it is best to use official resources.
The officer will ask up to 20 questions from the list of 128. You must answer 12 questions correctly to pass the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test
Yes. All civics test materials on the USCIS website are completely free to use.
If you do not pass the first time, you will usually get a second chance to retake the part you failed.
