Minnesota Citizenship Test Preparation (2026)
The USCIS civics test uses the same 128-question pool everywhere, but three answers depend on where you live. If you live in Minnesota, here is what you need to know.
Officials verified September 2026.
Governor, U.S. Senators & Capital
- Governor
- Tim Walz
- U.S. Senators
- Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith
You only need to name ONE of them on the test. - Capital
