A simple, honest way to study the 2025 civics test.

How the practice test works

We ship all 128 questions from USCIS Form M-1778 (09/25), the 2025 version of the test. When you start a round, we pick 20 of them at random, mirroring the real interview format. If you qualify for 65/20 Special Consideration (age 65+ and a lawful permanent resident for 20+ years), we instead pick 10 of the 20 starred questions designated by USCIS for that group.

Because the actual test is oral and graded in your own words by an officer, we present every question as a flashcard: read the question, click Show answer, then mark yourself correct or missed. Answers come straight from the bullet points in the official USCIS PDF, so you’ll recognize them.

State-specific answers

Four questions in the pool depend on where you live: your state capital, your governor, one of your U.S. senators, and your U.S. representative. We use the state you select on the landing page to fill in the right answer for your state — across all 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia.

For DC and territories that have no voting U.S. representative, we either skip Q29 or surface the correct “not applicable” answer the USCIS test guide provides.

Answers that change with elections

A handful of questions ask about the current officeholder — the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, Chief Justice — or a current official from your state, like your governor and senators. These change. Our dataset was last reviewed in January 2025, and we surface a clear “answer may have changed” disclaimer next to every one of these. Before your real interview, always confirm at uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates.

What this site is not

Studying Citizen is not affiliated with USCIS or any U.S. government agency. It is not an official test, not a substitute for the real interview, and its results have no bearing on your naturalization application. For the official study materials, go to uscis.gov/citizenship.

Privacy

We don’t require an account, and we don’t store your answers. Your selected state and quiz progress live entirely in your browser’s memory for the duration of a session. See the privacy policy for details.
