Civics mock test

This test works like the civics part of the interview. The officer asks up to 20 questions, out loud, from the official list. You need 12 correct answers to pass.

• Up to 20 questions, in random order. They are drawn from every part of the official list in proportion to its size, so each test is a fair sample. Every test is a new set.
• 12 correct and you pass. The test stops as soon as you reach 12 correct answers.
• 9 incorrect or skipped and the test ends. A skipped question counts as incorrect, just as silence would in the interview.
• Questions about officials and where you live. For the President, Vice President, Speaker, Chief Justice, your senators, governor and representative, type your answer, open the one-click look-up, and mark it yourself.
