Quiz: Would You Pass These Civics Questions to Become a U.S. Citizen?

While the Fourth of July conjures up images of fireworks and parades, barbecues and bonfires, the United States has another Independence Day tradition: the naturalization of new citizens.

An estimated 11,000 people will celebrate the holiday this year by officially becoming U.S. citizens, double the number in 2023. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is holding 195 naturalization ceremonies around the world between June 28 and July 5 in honor of Independence Day. A handful of those ceremonies will be held at historic locations, meaning some will swear allegiance to George Washington’s Mount Vernon or Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello on July 4.

Before participating in the ceremonies, all candidates for U.S. citizenship must pass a two-part test. The first part requires candidates to demonstrate an understanding of English. The second part is an oral exam of 10 civics questions chosen from a list of 100.

The Washington Post has developed 10 multiple-choice questions based on the list of 100 questions that USCIS provides as study material to help readers assess their performance. Candidates must answer six questions correctly to pass. Can you do it?
