This page brings together official USCIS study materials, practice tools, and local Utah support for people getting ready for the naturalization interview.
Important: If someone files N-400 on or after October 20, 2025, they should study the 2025 civics test with 128 possible questions. If they filed before that date, they stay on the older 2008 civics test.
The interview usually combines the N-400 review, the civics test, and the English reading and writing tests. The civics portion is spoken aloud. For the English test, USCIS says the applicant must read one of three sentences correctly and write one of three sentences correctly.
Many field offices now use tablets for the reading and writing portion, so handwriting practice on a tablet or with paper and pencil is useful.
The official USCIS app is useful, but app store descriptions have focused on the older 100-question test. For people studying the newer 2025 test, confirm that any app includes the 128-question version.
Practice writing by hand. A tablet with a stylus can help learners write a sentence, convert it to text, and compare it with the correct sentence.
Speech tools can help build confidence, but they are not the final judge. A USCIS officer may understand speech differently than an app does.
Governor of Utah: Spencer Cox
U.S. Senators from Utah: Mike Lee and John Curtis
For the question about a U.S. Representative, look up the applicant's exact home address because ZIP codes can cross district lines.
If you filed N-400 on or after October 20, 2025, study the 2025 civics test with 128 possible questions. If you filed before then, USCIS says you stay on the older 2008 civics test.
Practice reading simple sentences aloud, writing short dictated sentences by hand, and reviewing the USCIS reading and writing vocabulary. You can also use our writing practice page.
Use the USCIS civics test page, the official 128-question PDF, and the reading and writing practice strips listed above.
