Civics Questions and Answers (2008 version)
The 100 civics (history and government) questions
and answers for the naturalization test are listed
below. The civics test is an oral test and the USCIS
Ofcer will ask the applicant up to 10 of the 100
civics questions. An applicant must answer 6 out of
10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of
the naturalization test.
On the naturalization test, some answers may
change because of elections or appointments. As
you study for the test, make sure that you know the
most current answers to these questions. Answer
these questions with the name of the ofcial who
is serving at the time of your eligibility interview
with USCIS. The USCIS Ofcer will not accept an
incorrect answer.
