Free citizenship test resources for teachers

Everything on this site is free for classroom use, with no accounts, no student data, and nothing to install. Here is what is useful for teaching and how classes use it.

How classes use it

Warm-up (5 minutes). Open classroom mode, choose "20 random," and set the pause to five seconds. The class answers out loud together before the answer appears. This is the single closest thing to the real test format, and it takes no preparation.

Teaching a section. Choose a section (for example, "System of government") and turn off "Answer only after the pause" so the answer shows immediately. Read through, stop to explain, and hand out the printed sheet for that section.

Homework. Students open the trainer on their phones. It works in the official order, one short round at a time, and remembers where they left off. Ask them to reach a specific round by next class ("finish Colonial period"). The menu (☰) in the trainer shows which rounds are done.

Older students. The trainer and classroom mode both have a 65/20 setting that limits everything to the 20 starred questions and uses the 10-question, 6-to-pass format. Students eligible for the 50/20 or 55/15 English exemption can use the site to learn the content while an interpreter handles the interview.

Students who read Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese can start from the instruction pages in those languages: Español · 中文 · Tiếng Việt.

What it does not do

There are no student accounts, so there is no teacher dashboard and no way to see an individual student's progress. That is deliberate: the site collects nothing about the people who use it, which we believe matters for this audience. If you need to check progress, ask students to show you the round list in their trainer menu.

Linking to the site

You are welcome to link from a class page, a syllabus, or a library resource list. A line that works: Online practice: U.S. Citizenship Questions, all 128 questions read aloud, free, no account: uscitizenshipquestions.com. The printable PDFs may be copied freely for non-commercial classroom use.

Corrections and requests

If a question's wording differs from the current USCIS list, or there is something that would make the site more useful in your classroom, tell us. Teachers' requests are how most of the features on this page came to exist.

Ready when you are.

Project it, press start, and the class answers out loud.
