U.S. Citizenship Test Preparation
Study with Confidence
During your naturalization interview, a USCIS Officer will ask you questions about your application 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. See below to learn more about the test and the free study tools available to help you prepare
