What this means
The United States has many national holidays. The 2008 test asks you to name two, and the 2025 test asks for three. Choose from:
- New Year’s Day (January 1)
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (January)
- Presidents Day, also called Washington’s Birthday (February)
- Memorial Day (May)
- Juneteenth (June 19, a newer federal holiday)
- Independence Day (July 4)
- Labor Day (September)
- Columbus Day (October)
- Veterans Day (November 11)
- Thanksgiving (November)
- Christmas (December 25)
Pick whichever ones are easiest for you to say, and give the number the test asks for. An easy set is New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving.
Why this is on the test
National holidays are an easy, friendly question, and both tests just ask you to name a few of them from a long, familiar list.
How this question is asked
On the 2008 civics test, the officer asks up to 10 of the 100 questions out loud and you pass by answering 6 correctly. You answer in your own words. There is no multiple choice and nothing to write down for the civics portion. This question is one where you must give 2 correct answers, not just one.
