Citizenship practice test 1, 2025 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.
This test is for applicants who filed Form N-400 on or after October 20, 2025. It asks up to 20 questions and stops early once the result is settled, at 12 right or 9 wrong, because the real interview stops then too. The civics questions and their official answers are the ones USCIS publishes for study. The other answer choices and every explanation are ours. If you filed before that date, use the 2008 test on the citizenship hub instead.
