It is great to see that this tool is still in use after all these years! As some of you have noticed, the site where the quiz resides has issues from time to time. But user Patrick808 has been kind and uploaded a copy of the quiz to one of his pages. It seems to be working there all the time so I suggest you give it a try. Here is a link to Patrick's mirror site:

I just wanted to add that the quiz is still up-to-date (including question 47 that deals with the current speaker of the house).

I've used civicsquestions.com to study for my test. Maybe it will also be helpful to someone else!

Do we need to answer all the options in the answers or one is enough? For example, for the question "what does the Constitution do?", is it ok if I only answer "sets up the government" or I need to answer: sets up the government, defines the government, protects basic rights of Americans?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Unless specified, you only need to know one of the answers.

I will tell you the easiest way to study the 100 questions.. I am an Immigration Officer that spent 10 years interviewing the N-400 application at our Field Office, I no longer interview but I do spend a lot of time talking to N-400 applicants when they come into my ASC site and get their biometrics taken for their application. I show them this simple way of studying for the 100 questions and I'm telling you honestly it is the fastest and easiest way to study. Stay away from the phone apps, the CD and the book, why??? Because you are constantly looking at and hearing too much information that is not needed to successfully pass the test. The administration of the history/civics tests is standard across all of our Field Offices, the test is administered orally, so you are never looking at a written multiple choice question, the Officer will ask you the question verbally and you must respond verbally.

So as you can see in the questions that many of them indicate, Name one or Name two in the question and then they give you multiple choices to pick from, only study what you have to and not more, so for every single question that asks you to Name one thing or Name two things, you go through those questions and pick out the one or two answers that you like and are easy for you to remember and you put that answer on your flash card, then for the questions that don't specifically ask you to name one or name two things and just asks the question like "Why did the colonists fight the British" and it gives you more than one choice, then for these questions the answer defaults to just one of the choices, the Officer does not expect you to say all three of the choices that are there for that question, as long as you give one answer that is fine, believe me the Officer does not want you rattling off all of the choices because we have to write down all of your answers, and only one answer for those questions is necessary to have passed that question. Many times for the questions that don't specifically ask you to name one or name two things and it gives you more than one choice, it is many times a different way of saying the same thing.

The best way to study the 100 questions is to go to the store, and do this old fashioned, buy a set of blank index/flash cards and make your own flash cards. Go through the entire book and write out each question on one side of the card, then on the other side put the answer, but again remember only do what the question asks you, if the Question says "There were 13 original states, name 3" Do not try to memorize more than 3, pick three, and put those down on the flash card and only remember those three, etc.. and go on for all of the questions and only pick the one or two answers you have to remember. And again, the Officer does not care which ones you give them, as long as it is just one answer or two if the questions ask you to name 2 things etc.. you are fine,

Also when you sit down to study never ever ever sit down and go through all 100 questions in one sitting, that is just too much information overload at one time, Just sit down every night with just 5 questions at a time for about 15-20 mins and only study those 5 questions that night, then the next night study 5 different questions and so on, if you follow this simple way of studying you will have all 100 questions memorized in just 20 days.

Believe me this really helps and is a much more efficient way of studying than trying to do it online with some online quiz, or with a phone app or with the CD or with the book directly. Why???? Because when you are studying like that, you are constantly looking at ALL of the choices for the questions, so for every question that says Name one or Name two and you see a huge list of choices, your eyes are always staring at those other choices and that can be confusing, and if you are listening to the CD then you are hearing them list ALL of the choices, just let your brain focus on the one or two answers you need to memorize for each question. There is only 1 question that asks you to name three things, and that is the question, "There were 13 original states, name three" every other question is just asking you to name one or name two and again for the questions that don't specifically name one or two then those questions just require you to give one answer.

The day of the interview the officer randomly pulls a test sheet, and we have 10 different test sheets that have 10 questions already on them, we must ask only those 10 questions and cannot pick and choose which questions we ask you, if we pull test number 1 then you get asked all of the 10 questions on test number 1, you must get 6 out of 10 questions correctly and we are told that if you answer the first 6 questions in a row correctly then we are to stop the history test as you already passed and then move on to the writing and reading portion.

I hope all this info was helpful,
