What this means
The test asks you to name two Cabinet-level positions. There are many to choose from:
- Attorney General
- Secretary of State
- Secretary of Defense
- Secretary of the Treasury
- Secretary of Education
- Secretary of Agriculture
- Secretary of Labor
- Secretary of Homeland Security
Almost every Cabinet leader is called a “Secretary,” except the head of the Justice Department, who is the Attorney General. The Vice President also sits with the Cabinet.
Pick any two that stick in your memory. “Secretary of State” and “Secretary of Defense” are an easy pair.
Why this is on the test
This question asks you to name specific Cabinet posts, and there is a long list to choose from, so you can pick whichever two are easiest to recall.
How this question is asked
On the 2025 civics test, the officer asks up to 20 of the 128 questions out loud and you pass by answering 12 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.
This question also appears on the 2008 civics test , as question 36.
