• 0:00
  As you may have heard, there's a new US citizenship test in 2025.
• 0:07
  Here's what's changing. If you file on or after October
• 0:11
  2025, you'll take the updated test.
• 0:15
  You now need to study 128 questions instead of 100 and
• 0:21
  answer 12 out of 20 correctly to pass.
• 0:25
  Just like before, it's an oral test with no multiple choice.
• 0:30
  New topics include the 10th Amendment, The Federalist
• 0:33
  Papers, and key figures like Alexander Hamilton.
• 0:38
  There is more to learn, so start preparing early.
• 0:42
  We will create content to prepare for this 2025 Civics
• 0:47
  test version soon. Hello everyone, the new version
• 0:55
  of the civics test is now a fact, and we must be ready for
• 0:59
  it. And yes, it is official.
• 1:03
  The USCIS announced it in a public notice and the list of
• 1:07
  questions is already on their website.
• 1:11
  This naturalization test change was expected for a while because
• 1:16
  of the Trump administration's focus on stricter immigration
• 1:20
  policies. I know this news can be very
• 1:24
  stressful, but please do not worry too much.
• 1:29
  So let's answer some common questions we have received from
• 1:33
  you. What is the citizenship update
• 1:38
  for 2025? This is a big change to the
• 1:44
  Civics test. If you file your form N400 on or
• 1:48
  after October 20th, 2025, you will take the new test.
• 1:53
  This Trump Citizenship Test 2025 version is a bit harder.
• 1:59
  It has 128 questions instead of 100.
• 2:03
  You will need to answer 12 out of 20 questions correctly to
• 2:07
  pass, but if you get 9 answers wrong, you will fail.
• 2:13
  My strong advice, if you can apply before October 20th,
• 2:17
  please do it. Are there other changes in the
• 2:22
  naturalization test? No, the English part remains the
• 2:30
  same. There are only changes in the
• 2:33
  Civics portion of the test, but it is probably that there will
• 2:37
  be other changes in the English portion too.
• 2:43
  What version of the test will I take?
• 2:48
  This is very important. It depends on when you apply.
• 2:52
  As I said, if you file your application before October 20th
• 2:57
  2025, you will take the current easier test.
• 3:01
  If you file your application on or after October 20th, 2025, you
• 3:07
  must take the new test. What's on the new 2025
• 3:13
  citizenship test? There are 128 US citizenship
• 3:21
  test questions to study. Just like before, it's an oral
• 3:25
  test with no multiple choice. There are new topics like the
• 3:29
  10th Amendment, The Federalist Papers, and important people
• 3:34
  like Alexander Hamilton. Here are three questions and
• 3:38
  their answers so you can see what they are like. 37 The
• 3:43
  president of the United States can serve only two terms.
• 3:46
  Why? Because of the 22nd Amendment.
• 3:52
  To keep the president from becoming too powerful. 60 What
• 3:57
  is the purpose of the 10th Amendment?
• 4:00
  It states that the powers not given to the federal government
• 4:03
  belong to the states or to the people. 89 Alexander Hamilton is
• 4:09
  famous for many things. Name one First Secretary of the
• 4:15
  Treasury, one of the writers of The Federalist Papers, helped
• 4:19
  establish the First Bank of the United States Aid to General
• 4:24
  George Washington, member of the Continental Congress.
• 4:30
  We are preparing a full video with all 128 questions.
• 4:38
  Is the new test more difficult? The simple answer is yes.
• 4:45
  It is longer with 28 more questions to learn.
• 4:49
  The good news is the topics are similar, mostly American history
• 4:53
  and government, and you get a list of answers to study with
• 4:58
  the Citizen Now app. You can practice with quizzes
• 5:01
  and listen to them with the audio player feature.
• 5:05
  This will help you prepare. And the last question, what if I
• 5:12
  fail the test? The rule is the same as before.
• 5:18
  If you fail the English test or the civics test, USCIS will give
• 5:24
  you a second chance. They will schedule another
• 5:27
  interview for you between 60 and 90 days after your first one.
• 5:32
  You will only need to retake the part you failed.
• 5:36
  That is all for now. I know this is a lot of
• 5:40
  information, especially if you have to apply after mid-october.
• 5:44
  It can feel overwhelming but you are strong and you can do this.
• 5:50
  The most important thing is to practice.
