Frequently asked questions
How many weeks do I need to study for the citizenship test?
Most applicants feel ready after three to four weeks of daily practice. If English is newer to you or you're starting from scratch on U.S. history, give yourself six to eight weeks.
How much time per day should I study?
Fifteen to thirty focused minutes a day beats a long cram session once a week. Daily repetition is what moves the 128 civics answers into long-term memory.
What should I study first for the citizenship test?
Start with the American Government questions — they're the largest group on the test. Then move to U.S. History, then the geography and symbols questions, and practice answering out loud throughout.
