Preamble: US Citizenship Test
2025 civics: all 128 answers
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
USCIS changed the civics test on 20 October 2025 — 128 questions now, not 100. Preamble knows which one you take, and includes both lists in full.
Eight questions on the civics test have no answer.
Not a hard answer — no answer. USCIS prints "Answers will vary" or points at its
own updates page, because the answer depends on where you live or on who holds
office the day you are interviewed. That is one question in sixteen. On a
20-question interview, you will probably be asked one of them.
Preamble is built around that.
WHICH TEST DO YOU TAKE?
USCIS switched to the 2025 civics test — 128 questions, 20 asked, 12 correct to
pass — for anyone who filed Form N-400 on or after 20 October 2025. Filed before
that date? You take the 2008 test: 100 questions, 10 asked, 6 to pass. It is decided
by your filing date, not by preference. Preamble asks for your date and tells you
which applies. Both lists are included in full.
THE EIGHT WITH NO ANSWER
Your senators. Your representative. Your governor. Your state capital. The
President, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House and the Chief Justice.
Other apps either print "Visit uscis.gov" as though that were the answer, or bundle
a list of names that goes out of date at the next election. Preamble ships no
officeholder names at all. It links you to the authority for each one, records what
you found and the date you confirmed it, warns you when an answer is getting old,
and drills you on your own answer alongside the rest. Your state capital is filled
in for you, because that is the one that never changes.
EVERY ANSWER USCIS ACCEPTS
Ask "What is the form of government of the United States?" and USCIS accepts
Republic, Constitution-based federal republic, or Representative democracy. Some
questions have twenty-four acceptable answers. An app that shows you one teaches you
that your own correct answer was wrong.
Preamble shows all of them, word for word from the USCIS list. An automated check
proves on every release that all 918 question strings appear verbatim in the
government document they came from.
THE TEST IS SPOKEN, SO THE PRACTICE IS TOO
No multiple-choice buttons. A real interview is an officer asking and you answering
out loud, and picking one of three options is far easier than recalling the answer
cold. Preamble shows the question, waits while you say it aloud, reveals every
accepted answer, and asks you to mark yourself.
THE MOCK INTERVIEW STOPS WHEN THE REAL ONE WOULD
The officer does not ask all 20. USCIS stops the moment you reach 12 correct — or 9
wrong, so real interviews are shorter than people expect.
ALSO INCLUDED
• The 65/20 special consideration: the 20 starred questions, 10 asked, 6 to pass
• The English test: all 64 reading words and 75 writing words USCIS publishes
NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE
No account, no analytics, no advertising, no trackers. The app makes no network
requests of its own and works in airplane mode. Your answers live in one file on
your device, and deleting the app deletes them. The privacy label says Data Not
Collected because that is literally true.
FREE, AND WHAT COSTS MONEY
All 128 questions and every accepted answer are free, permanently — and so is
recording your own answers to the eight that have none. You should be able to open
the USCIS PDF next to this app and check every word before spending anything.
Full Prep is $14.99 once: unlimited practice, unlimited mock interviews, and the
record of what you still get wrong. It is not a subscription. Nothing auto-renews.
There are no ads at any tier.
