What is the U.S. Citizenship Civics Readiness Check exam?
The U.S. naturalization civics test is a LIVE oral exam at the USCIS interview: an officer asks up to 10 questions from the official 100-question civics list (2020 or 2025 list depending on your filing rules), and you pass by answering 6 correctly. It is not a written multiple-choice sitting on exam day. English speaking/reading/writing is assessed separately in the same interview process. This UniPrep2Go page is an independent written MCQ diagnostic (30 questions, 30 minutes, 80% pass) covering American government, history, and geography/symbols — useful for drilling the 100-question bank under time pressure, but not a substitute for oral practice and not official USCIS material. Remediating weak topics with the Citizenship & Naturalization Anki Bundle is the intended next step.
Administered by: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at the N-400 naturalization interview. Confirm whether you are on the 2020 or 2025 civics list for your application date on uscis.gov. (official site ↗)
Official format: Official USCIS civics test: oral — up to 10 questions from the 100-item list; pass by answering 6 correctly (English tests separate). UniPrep2Go readiness check on this page: written MCQ — 30 questions, 30 minutes, 80% diagnostic pass across government/history/geography — practice aid only, then drill oral recall of all 100.
