Immigration Test Study

This booklet is the official 2025 study companion for the U.S. naturalization civics test. It presents 128 standardized questions and answers covering what new citizens are expected to know about American government, history, and national symbols. The test itself is oral: a USCIS officer asks up to 20 questions, and applicants pass with 12 correct. A special “65/20” provision lets applicants age 65+ with 20+ years as permanent residents study only the 20 starred items and take a shortened version of the test in their preferred language.
