What does the US Citizenship Test Cover?

English Test Overview

For the English portion of the naturalization test you must demonstrate an understanding of the English language, including the ability to read, write, and speak basic English.

• Your ability to speak and understand English will be determined by a USCIS officer during your eligibility interview on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.
• For the reading test, you must read out loud one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to read in English.
• For the writing test, you must write one out of three sentences correctly to demonstrate an ability to write in English.
