Test if you could you pass the U.S. citizenship test

July 04, 2025 • Read in 2 minutes

Dear Hyphenly Readers,

Happy Fourth of July! Whether you're firing up the grill, enjoying the fireworks, or just soaking in the sunshine, we hope you're finding joy in the day.

But amidst the celebration, here’s a twist: what if you had to earn your citizenship today?

To become a naturalized U.S. citizen, immigrants must pass an interview that includes two tests—one on English, and one on U.S. history and civics. It’s no walk in the park.

So, we’re turning the tables. How well do you know the U.S.?

Take our mini quiz below and find out if you’d make the cut. Let us know how you did—and if you want us to test your English skills next time!
