USCIS 2025 Civics Test
Every question
they ask, answered.
All 128 official USCIS questions, cut into 36 lessons you can finish while the coffee brews — then four mock tests, including one that ends the second the officer would have stopped asking. Ten minutes a day and the civics test stops being the part you worry about.

Civics test
Passed
Why this matters
Ten minutes a day,
for one morning.
Somewhere past the forms and the fingerprints there is a small room, an officer, and up to 20 questions. Everything else about that morning is out of your hands — the civics part is not.
Study it in short sittings, on the bus, in the queue, at the kitchen table with the people you are doing this for. Then walk in and answer.
“The oath takes a minute. Getting there takes 36 lessons.”
01
128 questions.
8 worlds. 36 lessons.
The official list arrives as a flat PDF of 128 questions — which is exactly why people stall on it. CitizenReady splits it into eight themed worlds, each hosted by a figure from the era it covers, and each world into lessons of three or four questions. You are never more than four minutes from finishing something.

Learn it. Keep it.
Prove it.
Cramming a 128-question list the week before your interview is how people fail a test they knew the answers to. The app is built around the opposite: small daily contact, and a scheduler that quietly keeps score of what is slipping.
- Step 1
Learn
Three or four questions per lesson, each with a plain-English explanation and a mnemonic that actually sticks. Answer wrong and the app tells you why before it moves on — the explanation is the point, the score is not.
- Step 2
Review
A spaced-repetition scheduler tracks each question separately. The ones you keep missing come back tomorrow; the ones you have owned for weeks fade to monthly. Smart Review is a single daily queue built from that.
- Step 3
Prove it
Four mock tests, from an untimed warm-up to the full bank with hints off. Realistic mode reproduces the interview rule exactly: the officer stops the moment you have passed or can no longer pass.
03
Four screens.
No clutter between them.
Home tells you what to do next, Study holds the bank, Mock Test is the rehearsal, Profile is the record. There is no fifth tab, no feed, and nothing to dismiss before you can start.
Home One screen that answers “what now?”
XP, streak and readiness across the top; the review queue and the mock test below it; the eight worlds underneath. No dashboard to configure.
Study Eight worlds, studied and mastered
Every world tracks two numbers separately — how much you have seen, and how much has actually stuck. The bar is retention, not attendance.
Mock test Four formats, one of them merciless
Tests taken, best score and pass rate at the top. Expert is the only mode behind Premium, and it says so on the card.
Profile Progress, and the two settings that matter
Attempted, mastered and mock tests out of the full bank — plus the switch between the 2025 and 2008 tests, and 65+/20 mode.
04Mock tests
Four ways to sit
the interview.
At the real thing an officer asks up to 20 questions and stops early the moment the result is decided — at 12 right or 9 wrong. Most apps quietly ignore that rule. One of these four reproduces it exactly, because the early stop is the part that unnerves people.
Intermediate
20 questions · 30s each
The official format under a clock. Thirty seconds per question is roughly the pace of a real interview.
Realistic
stops at 12 right or 9 wrong
Exactly how the officer runs it: the test ends the moment you have passed — or the moment you can no longer pass.
Expert
Premiumall 128 questions · no help
The whole bank, start to finish, with hints off. If you clear this, the interview is a formality.

Built for the interview
you will actually sit.
The civics test has exceptions, local answers and facts that change with an election. Most study apps flatten all of that into one generic question list. These are the edges CitizenReady handles on purpose.
★ 65+ / 20
If you qualify, you study 20 questions — not 128.
Applicants who are 65 or older and have held a green card for 20 years or more are examined on a starred subset: 10 questions asked, 6 correct to pass. Turn the mode on in your profile and the whole app narrows — lessons, Smart Review, every mock test, and the passing marks with them.

Not graded, on purpose
Your senators change. A quiz answer cannot keep up.
Questions about your senators, your representative and your governor are presented as look-it-up cards pointing at senate.gov, house.gov and usa.gov/governors — never scored against an answer that went stale after the last election.
125 of 128 questions are gradable
Your state, your answers
Pick your state once during setup and the capital question answers itself correctly for you — not for whoever wrote the app.
Answers that expire
President, Vice President, Speaker and Chief Justice change with elections. Those questions are flagged in-app and point at the official USCIS updates page.
Nothing to sign up for
No login, no password, no profile on a server. Your name, state, streak and progress stay on your iPhone.
XP and a streak that means something
A readiness score built from coverage, retention and your recent mock average — so the number on the home screen is an estimate, not a participation trophy.

The fine print,
in plain English.
CitizenReady is a study tool. It is not affiliated with USCIS or the U.S. government, and nothing here is legal advice — for anything about your own case, uscis.gov is the authority.
Is this the 2025 test or the 2008 test?
Both. The app is built on the 2025 civics test — all 128 official USCIS questions in 8 worlds and 36 short lessons — and the 2008 bank of 100 questions ships alongside it, because which test you take depends on when your N-400 was filed. Switching between them is free and takes one tap.
How many questions do I need to get right?
At the interview an officer asks up to 20 questions and you pass at 12 correct. The officer stops as soon as the outcome is decided — Realistic mode reproduces that exactly, including the early stop.
How much of the app is free?
All 128 questions, every lesson and explanation, Smart Review, both test banks, 65+/20 mode, and 2 mock tests a day. Premium lifts the daily cap and unlocks Expert mode. Nothing in the free tier is a trial that expires.
I am 65 or older. Is there a shorter path?
Yes. If you are 65+ and have been a permanent resident for 20 years or more, you study only the 20 starred questions and are asked 10, passing at 6. Turn on 65+/20 mode in your profile and the entire app — lessons, review and mock tests — narrows to that bank.
What about questions that depend on where I live?
Your state capital is personalised from the state you pick during setup. Senators, your representative and your governor change with elections, so those are presented as study cards that point you at senate.gov, house.gov and usa.gov/governors instead of being graded on a stale answer.
Answers change when there is an election. Does the app?
Officeholder questions — President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, Chief Justice — are flagged in-app with a pointer to uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates, and the bundled bank is updated with each release.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your name, state, progress and streak live on your device, and nothing is required from you but a first name to make the greetings less robotic.
Does the test have to be taken in English?
For most applicants, yes — the civics questions are asked and answered in English, which is why every question in the app is in English. Some applicants qualify for an exemption based on age and years of residence; USCIS is the authority on which applies to you.
