US Citizenship Practice Test 8: Recent American History
10 questions. Pass mark 60%. Free, unlimited retakes, explanation on every answer.
This test covers the twentieth century and after: Eisenhower's war, the main concern of the Cold War, the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King Jr., the attacks of September 11 and American Indian tribes. It closes the American history section of the official list.
In the real interview the officer asks up to ten questions orally and stops at six correct answers. The tribe question accepts a long list of correct answers, so choose one you can pronounce confidently and stay with it.
Study tip for this theme: the Cold War question has exactly one expected answer, communism. Do not over explain it. A single clear word is what the officer is listening for.
