How the Civics Test Works
During your naturalization interview at a Arkansas USCIS office, an officer will ask you up to 10 questions (2008 test) or 20 questions (2025 test) from the official civics question bank. You need to answer 6 out of 10 (or 12 out of 20) correctly to pass. The officer asks questions orally in English and you answer out loud.
