US Citizenship Practice Test 4: Courts, Federalism and Political Parties
10 questions. Pass mark 60%. Free, unlimited retakes, explanation on every answer.
This test covers the judicial branch, the division of power between the federal government and the states, and the political party system. It includes several questions whose correct answer depends on where you live or on the current political situation.
In the real interview the officer asks up to ten questions orally and stops at six correct answers. The state specific questions here, your governor and your state capital, are asked using the state where you actually live, so learn your own answers rather than the examples used in practice material.
Study tip for this theme: separate federal powers from state powers by asking a simple question. Does it involve money, war, treaties or the army? That is federal. Does it involve schools, police, fire services, driver licences or zoning? That is the state.
