US Citizenship Test 2017 Video

These short videos simulate the civics portion of the naturalization test.

The civics test is an oral test. The official test is more difficult than multiple-choice test, however, because the actual civics test doesn't include multiple-choice answers.

You can watch the videos in order or shuffle the videos in random order.

What to expect during the real test

As part of the naturalization test, a USCIS officer will ask up to 10 questions about civics. The officer will choose these questions from among the 100 questions on the civics test. You must correctly answer 6 of the 10 questions to pass the civics test.

You will not know in advance which questions the officer will ask. To be prepared, you should study all 100 questions and answers.

Tips for studying

On the naturalization test, some answers may change because of elections or political appointments. As you study for the test, make sure that you know the most current answers to the questions. Answer these questions with the name of the official who is serving at the time of your eligibility interview with USCIS. The USCIS officer will not accept an incorrect answer.
