Which civics test do I take, 2008 or 2025?

It depends on when you filed Form N-400: before October 20, 2025, the 2008 test (100 questions, up to 10 asked, 6 to pass); on or after that date, the 2025 test.

What is the 65/20 special consideration?

If you are 65 or older and have been a permanent resident for 20 years or more, you study only 20 marked questions, are asked 10 and need 6 correct, and you may take the test in your language.

How the civics test works

It is oral, in English, during your naturalization interview. The officer reads the question and you answer.
2025 test (Form N-400 filed on or after Oct. 20, 2025): 128 questions, up to 20 asked, 12 correct to pass.
2008 test (filed before Oct. 20, 2025): 100 questions, up to 10 asked, 6 correct to pass.
65/20: if you are 65 or older with 20+ years as a resident, you study 20 marked questions, are asked 10, need 6, and may use your language.
Some answers change with elections (President, senators, governor…): answer with whoever serves on the day of your interview.

Questions and answers: USCIS (study materials, test updates). Senators and representatives: senate.gov and house.gov; governors: usa.gov. The Spanish text is a study translation by GreenBro; the test is in English. This is practice, not the official test, and not legal advice.
