US Citizenship Practice Test 1: Principles of American Democracy
10 questions. Pass mark 60%. Free, unlimited retakes, explanation on every answer.
This first test covers the opening section of the official USCIS civics question list: the Constitution, what it does, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the rule of law. These are the questions officers ask most often, because they establish whether an applicant understands what the United States is founded on.
In the real naturalisation interview there is no multiple choice. The officer reads a question aloud and you answer in your own words. The officer asks up to ten questions from the official list of one hundred and stops as soon as you have given six correct answers. Multiple choice practice is the fastest way to learn the material, but once you recognise the answers here, close the screen and say them out loud from memory.
Study tip for this theme: learn the first ten amendments as a group called the Bill of Rights, and learn that the Constitution has twenty seven amendments in total. Those two numbers are confused more than any others on the test.
