Quiz: Would you pass the updated U.S. citizenship test?

Earlier this year the 2025 version of the U.S. citizenship test expanded to 128 questions, doubling the exam's length for people seeking U.S. citizenship.
The 2008 version of the citizenship test had a pool of 100 questions, with 21 questions removed from the 2008 pool and more than half rewritten in the 2025 question revisions.
Nineteen items from the old test were altered, including the original colonies question now asking for five colonies, and 49 questions include examples like `Why is it important to pay federal taxes?`.
The required pass score remains 60%, so people seeking U.S. citizenship must now answer twice as many questions correctly to pass the longer test.
Historically the oral exam was 10 questions, now it's 20, and the article offers a practice version of the 2025 citizenship test readers can try.
