For the writing test, you must write one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to write in English. There is a writing vocabulary list on page 31 with all the words found in the English writing portion of the naturalization test. Your ability to speak English is determined by the USCIS officer based on your answers to questions normally asked during the naturalization interview.
Civics Test
The civics test covers important U.S. history and government topics. There are 100 civics questions on the naturalization test. During your naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. You must answer correctly 6 of the 10 questions to pass the civics test.
Retaking the Naturalization Test
You have two opportunities to take the English and civics tests per application. If you fail any portion of the test during your first interview, you will be retested on the portion of the test that you failed at a second interview. USCIS will schedule you to return to be retested between 60 and 90 days after the date of your initial interview.
