What is CivicsPath?
A calm, ad-free study companion for the 2025 USCIS naturalization (citizenship) test. Designed for adults preparing for their N-400 interview.
Who is CivicsPath for?
Adults preparing for their U.S. naturalization interview. Most users are green-card holders 30-50 years old who've filed or are about to file Form N-400.
Is CivicsPath legal advice?
No. We are a study tool. We are not attorneys, paralegals, or USCIS representatives. We help you prepare smarter, we do not provide legal advice.
Who built it?
Deco Souza, a founder going through his own naturalization process. CivicsPath is operated by Grain of Salt, a small studio.
What languages does CivicsPath support?
English, Portuguese and Spanish. Menus, tips, glossary definitions and question explanations follow the language you choose. The civics questions and answers stay in English, because the USCIS test is given in English.
Which test version does CivicsPath cover?
The 2025 128-question USCIS civics test, which applies to N-400 applications filed on or after October 20, 2025. If you filed before that date you take the 100-question 2008 test, and CivicsPath covers that one too: you tell us your filing date when you start.
What's on the actual interview besides civics?
Four sections: civics (up to 20 of the 128 questions), reading (read one of up to three sentences aloud), writing (write one of up to three dictated sentences), and speaking (assessed informally throughout the interview). CivicsPath rehearses all four.
How long does it take to prepare?
Most people need 4-6 weeks at 15 minutes a day. Less if you're already familiar with U.S. civics; more if English is your second language.
What's the passing score?
60% on civics (12 of 20 correct). Reading and writing each require one correct answer out of three attempts. Speaking is assessed throughout.
How much does CivicsPath cost?
$19.90/month after a 7-day free trial. No card required to start the trial. Cancel anytime.
Why no card to start?
If CivicsPath isn't right for you, you shouldn't have to fight a forgotten subscription to leave. We'd rather lose a sale than your trust.
What happens after the 7-day trial?
Your access to study sessions and mock interviews pauses. Your data, streak, history, badges, stays intact and view-only. Subscribe anytime to continue.
Can I cancel?
Yes. In the app, go to Profile, then Manage subscription. Your access continues until the end of the billing period you already paid for. No partial-month refunds, but no surprise renewals either.
Do you offer family or group discounts?
No group discounts. For couples, Partner Mode lets your spouse practice the same N-400 biographical questions with you, from a private link.
Do you sell my data?
No. We never sell user data. No analytics run by default; Google Analytics only fires after you accept the cookie banner.
Is CivicsPath accessible?
We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA. The marketing site is server-rendered with semantic HTML. The study app supports screen readers, keyboard navigation, and resizable text. Email accessibility@civicspath.app to report a barrier.
What about the cookie banner?
On first visit you'll see a banner asking whether to allow analytics. Nothing loads before you decide; Google Analytics only runs if you click Accept. You can change your choice anytime.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Email hello@civicspath.app from the address on your account and we permanently delete your account and study data within 7 days.
