US Citizenship Practice Test 2: Congress and the Legislative Branch
10 questions. Pass mark 60%. Free, unlimited retakes, explanation on every answer.
This test covers the branches of government and, in particular, Congress: the two chambers, how many members sit in each, how long they serve and who they represent. It also includes the economic system and the rule of law questions that close the opening section of the official list.
In the real naturalisation interview the officer asks up to ten questions orally from the official list of one hundred and stops once you have six correct. Some questions in this area, such as who your own senators and representative are, have answers that depend on where you live and change after every election.
Study tip for this theme: fix the three numbers in your memory before anything else. One hundred senators, four hundred and thirty five voting representatives, six year Senate terms and two year House terms. Nearly every Congress question on the official list is built on one of those four facts.
