Oathway

For the 2025 U.S. naturalization civics test

Twenty questions. Twelve right answers. Practice saying them out loud.

At your interview, the officer asks the civics questions out loud and you answer out loud. Oathway lets you practice exactly that: hear each question, say your answer, then check it against the official answers from USCIS.

How a mock interview goes

  1. 1

    Listen

    Press Hear it. Your phone or computer reads the question in its own voice. Choose Slowly if you need it.

  2. 2

    Answer out loud

    Say your answer before you look. That is the skill the interview tests.

  3. 3

    Check honestly

    Open the official answers and mark yourself: I said a right answer or I did not.

  4. 4

    Stop when it is decided

    Once you have 12 right, or 9 missed, the result cannot change, so Oathway stops there and shows you what to practice.

65 or older, and a permanent resident for 20+ years

Questions people ask

Is this the official test?

No. Oathway is an independent study aid. The questions and answers are copied word for word from the USCIS list (form M-1778, 2025 version), and the official study materials are free at uscis.gov/citizenship. Oathway is not part of USCIS or any government agency.

Which test will I take?

USCIS gives the 2025 test to people who filed Form N-400 on or after October 20, 2025. If you filed before that date, you take the 2008 version (100 questions), which Oathway does not cover. Your interview notice and uscis.gov have the final word.

What about the questions whose answers change?

Eight questions depend on where you live (your senators, representative, governor, state capital) or on who is in office now (President, Vice President, Speaker, Chief Justice). Oathway never prints a name for these: it sends you to uscis.gov/citizenship/testupdates and lets you write your own answer in your Study Book.

Does Hear it record my voice?

No. Hear it uses the speaking voice already built into your phone or computer. Oathway never turns on your microphone, and nothing you say leaves your device.

Can Oathway help with my application?

No. Oathway does not give legal advice and does not help with forms, fees, eligibility or filing. For that, use uscis.gov or a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative.
