Citizenship test preparation

One place to get ready, wherever you're applying.

Tell us which country's test you're taking and the rest follows: that country's questions, how many you'll be asked, the pass mark, and the answers that depend on where you live.

The United States is ready today. Germany is next — the same app with a different set of questions, not a different website to learn.

Read the US test in English, Español, Tiếng Việt or 中文 — how that works

Works in your browser, on a phone or a computer — and there's an iPhone app for the US test.

Download on the App Store
The app's home screen for an example user: 81% interview readiness against a 60% pass line, a trend line across the last seven sessions, and shortcuts to flashcards, practice tests, the mock interview and local answers.

In your language

Read it in Spanish, Vietnamese or Chinese.

The interview is in English, so every question stays in English, word for word as USCIS publishes it. Everything around it can be in your language: the buttons, the explanations, our short note on why each answer is right, and a translation under every question and answer.

For the 2008 test, the translation is USCIS's own. USCIS publishes the 2025 test in English only, so that translation is ours — and every card says which one you're reading.

For the US test, on the website and in the iPhone app: choose it under Language (in the app, Settings → Language).

Free, and not for a trial period

Study everything, without paying.

Your country's whole question set is free to study, with no time limit and no card. That isn't a trial that runs out — it stays free whether you ever pay us or not.

Every question you could be asked

Not a popular selection. The complete official pool for your country, grouped into the same sections the examiner works through, so studying follows the shape of the interview.

Flashcards you can hear

Turn a card over to see every answer that counts as correct. Have the question read aloud if that helps — some of the wording takes a moment to get used to.

The answers for where you live

A few questions depend on your state or district. Those are answered for the place you actually live, rather than left for you to work out.

Answers we can point to

Every question and accepted answer comes from the official published material, kept in its own words. The handful that change with an election are checked against the government's own records before each release.

Studying by topic, showing the official sections of the United States civics test.

One card at a time, or a whole section

You can work through everything in order, jump to the section you're least sure of, or shuffle. Star the ones that keep catching you out and come back to just those.

Free forever, all of it.

Your progress

You'll always know what's left.

Every answer you give builds a map of the whole test — one square for each question, filling in as you go. Green where you've got it right, red where you haven't yet, and grey for the ones you haven't been asked.

Underneath it, your accuracy against the real pass mark, how steady you've been over the last month, and your weakest sections listed first with a link straight into studying them.

Nothing on it is estimated. Every figure comes from questions you actually answered — no projected scores, no invented readiness percentage.

The progress screen: 90% accuracy against a 60% pass line, and a map of every question in the test coloured by whether it has been answered correctly.

When you're ready to be tested

Practice the way it really goes.

A practice test asks the same number of questions as the real one and uses the same pass mark. Your first full test is free. If you'd like to keep going, unlimited tests and interview practice come with the one-time unlock.

A practice test question with numbered answer options.

You'll see why, not just whether

Each answer is marked as you go, and anything you miss is listed afterwards with every accepted answer, so a wrong guess turns into something you've learned rather than a number you got.

Interview practice, out loud

Questions are read to you the way an officer asks them. You answer aloud and check yourself. Your microphone is never used and no audio is recorded.

Countries

One account, whichever test.

You choose your country when you sign up, and it stays with your account. That's deliberate: every answer we record belongs to a section of one country's test, so moving between them mid-preparation would leave you with a progress report about a test you aren't taking. If you pick the wrong one, tell us and we'll fix it.

Right now the United States test is open. Germany, Canada and Australia are built and checked, and open shortly — their questions are finished, and what is not is the rest of running a country properly: the support pages and the email behind them. We would rather hold them a week than switch them on early.

When yours opens, there are two kinds of test it can be, and the screen with the questions always says which.

Some governments publish their real question pool. The United States does, and so does Germany, where the full Einbürgerungstest catalogue is public. For those you're studying the actual questions, word for word, and we name the source on every screen.

Canada and Australia don't publish theirs. Nobody has those questions — not us, not any other app, not even the official publisher's own. What both governments do publish is a free study guide, and the real test is drawn from it. So for Canada and Australia the sets are our own practice questions written from that guide, each one recording the chapter it came from so you can check it yourself. We never call them official, because they aren't.

The Life in the UK question bank is confidential Crown copyright — it isn't published and it isn't going to be. The official handbook is a book you buy, so a UK set is coming the same way Canada's did, from that handbook's facts.

If your country publishes its questions and isn't here, tell us — that's genuinely how this list grows.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this a government service?

No. It's an independent study aid, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government or immigration authority. Where a government publishes its question pool, as the United States and Germany do, those are its questions and we name the source. Where a government publishes only a study guide, as Canada and Australia do, the questions are ours, written from that guide, and we say so on the screen.

Can you advise me on my application?

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. This teaches the civics test. It doesn't advise on your case, prepare or submit any form, or take part in your interview. For that, speak to an immigration lawyer or an accredited representative.

Which countries can I use this for?

The United States today. Germany, Canada and Australia are built and checked and open shortly. A country's set is one of two things, and the screen with the questions always says which: its government's own published question pool, as the United States and Germany publish, or — where a government publishes only a study guide — our own practice questions written from that guide, which we never call official. The Life in the UK question bank is confidential Crown copyright and unpublished, so a UK set has to be written from the official handbook.

Which version of the test applies to me?

For the United States, that depends on your Form N-400 filing date: filed before October 20, 2025, the 2008 test; on or after, the 2025 test. Both versions are included and you can switch between them whenever you like. The rules for each, in plain words, are on Which test will I take?

Can I study in Spanish, Vietnamese or Chinese?

Yes, for the United States test. In the web app, choose Español, Tiếng Việt or 中文 under Language, and the buttons, explanations and our background notes switch to that language. Each question is still shown in English, the way the officer will ask it, with a translation underneath: USCIS's own translation for the 2008 test, and ours, always labeled as ours, for the 2025 test, which USCIS publishes in English only.

Do the answers stay up to date?

Yes. A few questions ask who currently holds an office, and those change with elections and appointments. Each one is checked against the government's own records before every release.

Do I need an account?

Yes, including for the free part. It's how your progress follows you between devices, and how the one free practice test stays yours rather than resetting every time you clear your browser. We hold your email address, your progress, and whether you've paid. Nothing else.

Does the microphone listen to me?

No. Interview practice only speaks, using your browser or phone's built-in text-to-speech. The microphone is never accessed and no audio is recorded or sent anywhere.

Is the $9.99 a subscription?

No. It's a single payment, plus whatever tax your country charges. Nothing renews, and there's nothing to cancel. It's tied to your account, so signing in on another device brings it with you.

Do I need the app?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on a phone or a computer. There's also an iPhone app for the US civics test, and Android is planned; the other countries are on the website only for now. A purchase in the app and a purchase here are separate, because Apple handles its own payments — so buy in the place you plan to study.
