USCIS has introduced a modified version of the naturalization test, titled the 2025 Naturalization Civics Test.

This version expands the pool of potential questions, increases difficulty in phrasing, and raises the passing threshold. With the 2025 version, applicants are required to answer 12 out of 20 questions correctly, an increase from the previous requirement of 6 out of 10 questions. These questions are drawn from a bank of 128 possible questions, an increase from 100. 

 

The 2025 Naturalization Civics Test will be administered to those who file form N-400 on or after Oct. 20, 2025.
