The civics test is one part of the naturalization test
Most applicants also take an English test covering speaking, reading and writing. This practice section prepares you for civics; its oral mock test does not measure English proficiency or predict an interview result. Some applicants may qualify for an exemption or accommodation, so check the official USCIS rules for your circumstances.
Special 65/20 study set
Applicants who are at least 65 and have been lawful permanent residents for at least 20 years may qualify for special consideration. USCIS applies the age and residence requirements at the time Form N-400 is filed. The eligible test uses 10 questions from the 20 specially marked questions in the applicable version, with 6 correct answers needed to pass. Use the starred-question filter on either practice page and confirm your eligibility with USCIS.
