  Study for the U.S. Citizenship Test

  Welcome!

  This course will help you study for the United States Naturalization (Citizenship) Test.  The test includes questions about American history and government, called Civics, and questions to show that you can read and write in English.

  This course has lessons that include all the information you need to answer the 100 Civics questions.  There are also lessons to help you practice reading, writing, and spelling in English.  Most lessons have links to other web sites where you can learn more about the Civics topics.
