Naturalization Test

During your naturalization interview, a USCIS Officer will ask questions about your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and background. You will also take an English and civics test (unless you qualify for an exemption or waiver). The English test has three components: reading, writing, and speaking. The civics test covers important U.S. history and government topics. ImmigrationTestPrep.com provides free study tools to help you prepare for the naturalization test.

English Language Tests

Speaking English

Your ability to speak English will be determined by a USCIS Officer during the eligibility interview on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

Reading English

Applicants must read aloud one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to read in English. The Reading Test Vocabulary List will help you study for the English reading portion of the naturalization test. The content focuses on civics and history topics.

Writing English

You will be asked to write one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to write in English. The Writing Test Vocabulary List will help you study for the English writing portion of the naturalization test. The content focuses on civics and history topics.

Civics Test

The naturalization test draws from a pool of 100 civics questions. During your naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 randomly chosen questions from the list of 100 questions. You must correctly answer six of the 10 questions to pass the civics test.

Prospective citizens get up to two opportunities to take the English and civics tests per application. If they fail any portion of the test during their first interview, they will be retested on the portion of the test that they failed between 60 and 90 days from the date of their initial interview.
