2025 vs 2008 US civics test: which one you take
uktest.com/us practice uses the official USCIS 2025 bank (128 questions). We do not mix the 2008 bank into the public practice UI. If your N-400 was filed before 20 October 2025, study the 2008 materials on USCIS — not a mixed bank here.
Which test you take depends on the N-400 filing date, not the interview date. USCIS Study for the Test: filed before 20 October 2025 → 2008 test; filed on or after that date → 2025 test.
