Civics, Reading & Writing Scores: Can You Pass? US Naturalization Test Scoring Guidelines, 2023-2024
We based our educational video from the Section 312 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) which provides that most applicants for naturalization demonstrates an understanding of the English language, including an ability to read, write, and speak words in ordinary usage in the English language, as well as a knowledge of the U.S. government and history also known as the civics test.

We also based our video on the document which comes officially from the USCIS that offered a general description of how the U.S. Naturalization Test is evaluated and scored by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Officers.
During the naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. The immigration officer will ask the questions aloud and you should answer it through a verbal response. You can request the USCIS Officer to say the question again if you don’t hear it clearly. Once you will be able to answer six questions correctly, the Immigration Service Officer will also stop administering the Civics Test based on USCIS procedures.
You will pass the Civics Test if you will be able to provide a correct answer or an alternative phrasing of the correct answer. For alternative phrasing of the correct answer, there are many words or phrases that can be used to offer a better explanation which will be accepted by the USCIS officer so that you can still pass the test.
If you fail for the second opportunity test, your citizenship will be denied and you will have to reapply in order to become a U.S. citizen. The USCIS officer will give you a notice of results known as the Form N-652 at the end of the naturalization interview that shall inform you if you passed or failed your U.S. citizenship interview and tests.
You will pass the Reading Test, if you can read one sentence without extended pauses. You can still pass the Reading Examination, if you can read all the content words, but may omit short words that do not interfere with meaning. You can also pass the Reading Exam, even if you may make pronunciation or intonation errors that do not interfere with the meaning. “Do not interfere with the meaning” means that it does not change the meaning of your answers.
You shall pass the written examination, if you have the same general meaning as the dictated sentence. Please remember, that even if your sentence may have some spelling, punctuation, grammatical, or capitalization errors, that do not interfere with meaning, it can still be accepted. If the sentence that you will write may omit short words that do not interfere with meaning, it will still pass the writing exam. Another thing to remember is that if the numbers that you will write may be spelled out or written as digits, the immigration officer will still accept it as a correct answer.
There are exceptions for the English language requirement, and it may be waived or removed for you, who, on the date of filing the Application for Naturalization, Form N-400, was over fifty (50) years old, and has been a permanent resident for at least twenty (20) years, or was over fifty-five (55) years old, and has been a permanent resident for at least fifteen (15) years. If either exemption will apply, you will not be tested in English and may take the Civics Test in your language of choice.
If you are over sixty-five (65) years old, on the date of filing the application, and have been a permanent resident for twenty (20) years, you shall not be tested in English and qualify to take a simpler version of the civics test in your language of choice. Both the English language and civics requirements for naturalization are also waived or removed if you are unable to obey or comply with these requirements because of a medical or physical impairment. Applicants who have a medical or physical impairment, who are the ones experiencing loss of important functionality or ability, are exempted. However, these applicants are still required to answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly, to get or achieve a passing score, for the civics test.
