US Citizenship Test Study Guide 2026–2027: All 128 Official USCIS Civics Questions for the 2025 Naturalization Test, Explained and Connected — with English-Test ... Prep (The Normative Manual Book 1)

Passing the 2025 U.S. citizenship test starts here — with the 128 questions that actually count, explained and connected.

Since October 20, 2025, USCIS gives new applicants the updated civics test: 128 questions instead of 100, up to 20 asked at the interview, 12 correct to pass. Most study guides simply list the answers and tell you to memorize them. This one is different.

Every one of the 128 official USCIS civics questions gets its own page: the exact question, every answer the officer accepts, and — the part no flashcard gives you — why that answer is correct and how it connects to the other questions. When the facts are connected, they stay. That's the method.
