Civics test guides

• Which civics test do I take — the 2008 or the 2025 version?
  It depends on the date you filed Form N-400, not your interview date. Filed on or after October 20, 2025: the 128-question test. Before: the 100-question test.
• The 65/20 exemption: an easier civics test if you are 65 and a 20-year resident
  If you are 65 or older and have held a green card for 20 years, you study 20 marked questions, the officer asks 10, you need 6, and you may test in your own language.
• How the civics test is scored, and what counts as a correct answer
  The officer asks up to 20 questions and stops at 12 right or 9 wrong. Any accepted answer counts — you do not need the exact wording. Here is exactly how it works.
