Are you looking for an online, free and easy way to study for the US Citizenship test? Do you want to learn all the 100 official USCIS Naturalization Exam questions and answers? Do you want to hear all the citizenship test questions and practice the answers with audio? Would you prefer to read short lessons and take quizzes? Maybe you would like to play citizenship games? The citizenship study guide allows you to do all that and much more! Inside the guide and by using the quick link study resource center on the page, all the information necessary to help you prepare and pass the United States Citizenship test is available.

There are four parts to the Naturalization Exam and interview: the civics part, where you are asked ten questions out of the possible 100 USCIS questions, the writing part, where you are asked to write a sentence given, the reading part, where you must read a sentence provided by the USCIS officer and the speaking part, where you will answer questions about your N-400, the application for naturalization that you filled out when applying for citizenship.

Using the citizenship study guide: These are brief lessons for the civics part of the citizenship test and at the end of each section there is a multiple choice quiz of the USCIS test questions and answers about that topic. All the quizzes have audio of the question and answer to help you hear, learn and practice your response to the question that can be asked of you during the naturalization exam interview. The study material covers American history, from the birth of America and the colonial period to current events, to the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, to the American system of government and its functions. In addition to the quizzes, each section has true/false questions within the lesson (these questions can be found by clicking the “?” on pages where the symbol appears) to help you understand further what you have read in the civics lesson. For the integrated part of the US Citizenship test, in addition to the quizzes, there are maps, time lines and graphics to help you visually learn the material. And finally at the end of the lessons, there are flashcards and practice exercises. Using the interactive flashcards allows you to study each of the 100 USCIS test questions and flip the card for the answer(s). The fill in the blank exercise, also designed around the citizenship test questions, helps you to read a sentence and make it meaningful and complete by dragging the correct answer from the word bank to the blank. An example sentence from the reading practice exercise: _________ is our nation’s capital. From the word bank, the correct answer to select is Washington D.C.; that is question # 94 on the naturalization test. The match up exercises are also citizenship games that help you learn the material. An example of this would be to pair up “Father of Our Country” with “George Washington”; this is question # 70 on the naturalization exam.
