Are you smart enough to pass the U.S. citizenship test? How well do you know basic U.S. history and government? Test your skills on these questions taken from the official USCIS test.

CitizenshipU presents the U.S. Citizenship Quiz.


The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), formerly the INS, requires immigrants to pass a history and civics test to become U.S. citizens. The new test launches October 1, 2008.

Applicants are asked 10 questions from this pool of 100 questions. They must answer 6 of the 10 questions correctly to pass the test.

Note: The actual test is harder than this quiz because it is not multiple choice.
