Some of its salient features include:

Currently, the test preparation includes 100 civics based questions out of which any 10 will be asked. The applicant is expected to correctly answer 6 in English to pass the civics test.

There are additional Study Materials for the Civics Test available to help prepare for the test including sample questions in multiple languages, flash cards, MP3 audio versions as well as study booklets in both large and regular prints, also available in multiple languages.

This civics test is accompanied by an eligibility interview Form N-400, Application for Naturalization for which there are interactive modules that include vocabulary, phrases and commands that the interviewee may hear and prepare for in an interview.
