Ace your USCIS civics interview with confidence. All 128 official questions ā studied, practiced, and mastered. The 2025 civics test asks up to 20 questions out loud. You need to answer 12 correctly. This app prepares you for every one of them ā no internet required, no account needed. PRACTICE TESTS Take 20-question tests that mirror the real interview. You need 12 of 20 to pass ā exactly like the actual USCIS requirement. Questions that ask for two, three, or five answers ask you to pick that many, just like the interview. Review every question you missed with what you chose, the official answers, and a plain-English explanation. STUDY BY TOPIC Browse all 128 questions organized by topic: Ā· American Government (72 questions) Ā· American History (46 questions) Ā· Symbols and Holidays (10 questions) FLASHCARDS Flip through every question as a flashcard. Filter by topic or focus only on your starred questions. Great for quick review on the go. KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT See how the real test works: how many questions you get, how many you need right, what happens if you don't pass, and the 65/20 rule ā checked against USCIS, with a link to the official page. TRACK YOUR READINESS Your readiness score grows as you take practice tests, so you always know how prepared you are. Star any question to revisit it later, and use Fix your misses to drill the ones you got wrong. FOR SENIOR APPLICANTS If you are 65 or older and have held a green card for 20 years or more, you only need to study the 20 starred questions: the officer asks 10 of them and you need 6 right. Switch to Starred 20 in Settings to focus on exactly those. FULLY OFFLINE No Wi-Fi required. No data plan. No account. Everything works from the moment you install it. ā Prepared using the official USCIS civics question list. Not affiliated with USCIS or the US government.

Mock exams under the adult test rules: 36 questions, 30 correct to pass ⢠Florida: 452 practice questions, translated into Spanish, Haitian Creole and Portuguese. Mock exams under the Class E test rules: 50 questions, 40 correct to pass, in 60 minutes.
