There are 100 civics (history and government) questions on the
naturalization test. During your naturalization interview, you will be
asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. You must answer
correctly 6 of the 10 questions to pass the civics test. Applicants who
are age 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for at least 20
years at the time of filing the Form N-400, Application for
Naturalization, are only required to study 20 of the 100 civics test
questions for the naturalization test. These questions are flagged with
an asterisk (*) in this booklet. Learn About the United States contains
short lessons based on each of the 100 civics questions. This additional
information will help you learn more about important concepts in
American history and government. During your naturalization interview,
you will not be tested on the additional information in the short
lessons. There are three components to the English portion of the test:
speaking, reading, and writing.
