This revised civics test will go into effect on December 1, 2020. With the revised test, a USCIS officer will ask you to answer 20 out of the 128 civics test questions. You must answer at least 12 questions correctly to pass. In the current version, you are asked 10 questions and must answer at least 6 correctly to pass.
The naturalization civics test has two components: an English and civics test. The English portion has not changed. All questions on the test are asked orally. Learn more, here.
