Studying the 2008 civics test with flashcards
At the naturalization interview a USCIS officer asks the civics questions out loud and you answer out loud. Flashcards practise exactly that: you see only the question, answer it from memory, and then check yourself against the official answer. Reading a list of questions and answers feels easier than it is, because the answer is always in front of you.
Each card is drawn at random from the 100 official questions for this version of the test, so you cannot learn the answers by their order. The question is read aloud as the card appears, which also gives you practice hearing it the way the officer will ask it.
Mark a card as done when you can answer it without hesitating, and save the ones you miss for review. Both are kept in this browser, and they count towards your progress in the other study tools here.

2008 flashcards: common questions
Are these the 2008 citizenship test questions?
Yes. The deck holds all 100 official questions of the 2008 civics test in the USCIS wording, with the official accepted answers on the back. It is the test for anyone who filed Form N-400 before October 20, 2025.
I filed on or after October 20, 2025. Are these the right cards?
No. Applications filed on or after that date take the 2025 test, which has 128 questions. Switch to the 2025 flashcards, linked above the card.
How many of the 100 cards do I need to know?
All of them, because the officer can ask any question on the list: up to 10, and you need 6 correct. If you qualify for 65/20, the cards marked 65/20 are the 20 you need.
How should I use the flashcards?
Say your answer out loud before you turn the card, because the real test is oral. Mark a card done once you can answer it without hesitating, and save the ones that catch you out so you can come back to them.
