Patrias helps you study for the Civics test — one part of the U.S. naturalization process. The test also includes an English component and an interview with a USCIS officer.
Both tests cover U.S. history, government, and symbols.
The Patrias platform supports both the 2008 and 2025 question banks — users can select their version when signing up or adjust it later in Settings based on their N-400 filing date.
Important Disclaimer
The naturalization test includes two parts: an English test and a Civics test.
The test is given during your naturalization interview with a USCIS officer.
Patrias focuses on helping you prepare for the Civics portion.
