One date decides it, and it is the date you filed Form N-400, not your interview date.
| You filed Form N-400 | Your test |
|---|---|
| Before October 20, 2025 | The 2008 test. 100 questions, the officer asks up to 10, you need 6 correct. Study it here. |
| On or after October 20, 2025 | The 2025 test. 128 questions, the officer asks up to 20, you need 12 correct, and the officer stops the moment you reach 12 or 9 wrong. Study it here. |
It is the filing date, not the interview date. An interview in 2026 on a form filed in early 2025 is still the 100 question test.
The 65/20 exemption exists in both. If you are 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for 20 years or more you study only the 20 starred questions, and you may answer in the language of your choice.
Four answers are never in the booklet. Your senators, your representative, your governor and your state capital change with where you live, so the official list says Answers will vary. They are filled in per state on this site, for both tests.
Everything you have just read is free and stays free. Three things are not on this site. Seventeen full practice tests, written out in order rather than drawn at random, so you can see which sections you keep failing. The whole thing as one file you can print, which needs no battery, no signal and no data plan, and which you can write on. And one document to carry instead of a hundred and eleven pages to navigate.
113 pages. You get the PDF for printing and the EPUB for your phone, in the same download.

Rather drill with cards? The 128 questions as printable flashcards, $4.49.
Where these answers come from. The 128 questions and their accepted answers are the official USCIS civics test material, a work of the United States government. Senators and representatives were read from congress.gov and house.gov on 2026-09-04. Governor names were re-read from usa.gov on 2026-09-04, and state capitals from the same source on 2026-08-24. Office holders change, so check uscis.gov test updates before your interview.
Test rules read on 2026-08-24 from uscis.gov and the USCIS Policy Manual. This site is independent and is not affiliated with USCIS or the United States government.
