Citizenship practice test
Private practice site. Chapbook is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of motor vehicles, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any state or county agency. These are practice tests written by us to help you study. They are not the official test, and passing here does not give you a licence, a permit, a card, or a certificate of any kind.
Practice only. Chapbook is not U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and is not part of the U.S. government. The civics questions published by USCIS are a work of the U.S. government and are published by USCIS for study. Our tests, explanations, and translations are ours. Your interview and your test are run by USCIS, and the officer's questions and decisions are theirs alone. This site gives study material, not immigration advice.
Which test do I take?
It depends on the date you filed Form N-400. Filed on or after October 20, 2025 means the 2025 test, 128 questions to study, up to 20 asked, 12 right to pass. Filed before that date means the 2008 test, 100 questions to study, up to 10 asked, 6 right to pass. If you're 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for 20 years or more, you study the 20 marked questions only.

How to study for a spoken test
Short sessions beat long ones here. Ten questions in oral mode, out loud, teaches more than fifty read in silence, because the officer will ask out loud and wait for you to speak. When a topic keeps going wrong, the results screen names it, and that's where your next session goes. Say it out loud. Every time.
