Practice test

Citizenship practice test

USCIS administers two versions of the civics test. The 2025 test (for N-400s filed on or after Oct 20, 2025) asks up to 20 of 128 questions and you must answer 12 correctly; the 2008 test (for earlier filers) asks up to 10 of 100 questions and you must answer 6 correctly. Pick your version below - each practice round uses that version's real format.

Which version you take depends on when you filed Form N-400: on or after Oct 20, 2025 means the 2025 test (up to 20 of 128 questions, 12 correct to pass); before that date means the 2008 test (up to 10 of 100 questions, 6 correct to pass). Check the official USCIS test-updates page if you are not sure.

Questions practice cannot ask

The 4 questions that depend on your state

The 2025 test bank has 128 official questions, and 124 of them have the same right answer for every applicant. Those 124 are what a practice round draws from. The 4 below are the rest: USCIS answers them with “Answers will vary” because the right answer is whoever represents you, so there is no correct option to put on a multiple-choice card. You still have to know them for the interview.

  1. Question 23. Who is one of your state’s U.S. senators now?

    Official answer: Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents and residents of U.S. territories should answer that D.C. (or the territory where the applicant lives) has no U.S. senators.]

  2. Question 29. Name your U.S. representative.

    Official answer: Answers will vary. [Residents of territories with nonvoting Delegates or Resident Commissioners may provide the name of that Delegate or Commissioner. Also acceptable is any statement that the territory has no (voting) representatives in Congress.]

  3. Question 61. Who is the governor of your state now?

    Official answer: Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. does not have a governor.]

  4. Question 62. What is the capital of your state?

    Official answer: Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. is not a state and does not have a capital. Residents of U.S. territories should name the capital of the territory.]

Look up your state’s senators, governor and capital

Your U.S. representative depends on your congressional district rather than your state, so it is not on the state pages. Find yours at house.gov, and confirm every changeable answer close to your interview date.
