How the mock interview works
- 1We pick 20 random questions from the official 128.
- 2Each question appears one at a time — tap Listen to hear it read aloud.
- 3Say your answer out loud, then mark Correct, Almost, or Wrong.
- 4Track your live score; reach 12 correct to pass, just like the real test.
- 5Missed and 'almost' questions are saved as weak questions to review.
Tips for the oral test
- Practice saying answers out loud, not just reading them.
- Use the slow audio to get comfortable hearing each question.
- You do not need the exact wording — say a correct, complete answer in English.
- Re-check answers about current officials and your state before your real interview.
Common questions
Is the real citizenship test oral?
Yes. During your naturalization interview, a USCIS officer reads civics questions aloud and you answer out loud in English. Our mock interview mirrors that format.
How many questions do I need to pass?
The officer asks up to 20 questions and you need 12 correct. They stop once you reach 12 correct (pass) or 9 incorrect.
Is there a shorter version for older applicants?
Yes. With the 65/20 rule (age 65+ and 20+ years as a permanent resident), you study a reduced set and answer 10 questions, needing 6 correct. Our mock includes a 65/20 mode.
