Study for a test

Your assistant makes a study plan and quizzes you, a few questions at a time.

Suggested tools

You can set these up yourself. Get the app, follow the steps, then copy the prompt.

• USCIS official civics study materials

  The official free questions and answers for the citizenship test, from the government.

  Open the website

  2. The page explains which test you take, the 2008 test or the 2025 test. Read that part first.
  3. Open the list of questions for your test and copy the link.
  4. Text the link to your assistant and ask it to quiz you from that list only.

  Copy this prompt and give it to your assistant

  • I am studying with Khan Academy and I want help when I get stuck. Walk me through it one step at a time and wait for me after each step: I take a screenshot of the practice question and send it here.

Make it stick

• Quiz from your own book or study guide. It is more reliable than asking it for facts from memory.
• Short sessions every day work better than one long night.
