Why ReadyCitizen exists

Hi, I’m Marco Saenz. I built ReadyCitizen to help everyone studying for their citizenship test, because I watched my mother spend two years studying to pass hers. She was very nervous.

I read every comment: send me any question and I’ll gladly help.

Frequently asked

Questions answered

Is ReadyCitizen affiliated with USCIS or the U.S. government?

No. ReadyCitizen is an independent study tool. We use the official USCIS civics questions because they are public information, but we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representing USCIS.

Which test version should I prepare for?

If you filed your N-400 before October 20, 2025, you take the 100-question test (10 asked, need 6 correct). If you filed on or after October 20, 2025, you take the 128-question test (20 asked, need 12 correct). The app asks you which version applies during onboarding.

Can I use it without paying?

Yes. Without paying you do the mini interview and one full interview with the officer (no account needed), and practice with 25 civics questions and 3 quizzes. Flashcards, the daily question, the lightning round, partner mode, reading and writing practice, and the N-400 guides have no limit. Car mode plays 5 questions per session on the free plan. Premium gives you 3 full interviews a day and everything unlimited; the annual plan includes a 14-day free trial.

Do you offer Spanish?

The app interface, daily plan, and explanations are available in Spanish. Civics content stays in English — that's what USCIS tests. Tap "Translate" on any question for a Spanish explanation.

What if I'm 65+ and have been a permanent resident for 20+ years?

You take the simplified test: you only study 20 questions. ReadyCitizen gives them to you automatically when you say so at setup, and turns on Easy mode.

Is the AI mock interview the same as the real interview?

It mirrors the real interview format — the officer asks civics questions, scores your answer based on official accepted answers, and stops once you pass or fail. But it's a practice tool, not a guarantee. Real officers may phrase questions differently or follow up. Use ReadyCitizen to build confidence and identify gaps.

Does the app grade my pronunciation?

No, and we don't want to suggest otherwise. In reading practice you hear the officer read a sentence, read it aloud yourself, and mark whether you got it — the app is not listening. In writing practice you hear a dictation, type what you heard, and the app checks your typing against the sentence. The only place the app uses your voice is the AI mock interview, where your spoken answer is transcribed to check whether the answer is correct — not how you sound.

Can my family help me practice?

Yes. Partner mode puts the accepted answers on the screen for whoever is quizzing you — hand them your phone, answer out loud, and they tap correct or incorrect. And car mode reads questions and answers aloud with a pause in between, so you can practice while you drive or walk without touching the phone.

How do I delete my account?

Inside the app: Profile tab → "Delete my account" → confirm by typing your email. From outside the app: visit readycitizen.app/delete-account. We process deletions within 30 days.

How is my data used?

We use your data only to make the app work and improve it. We never sell your data. Your mock interview audio is sent to OpenAI for transcription and discarded immediately after — we don't keep recordings. Read the full privacy policy.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. For App Store purchases, request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google Play, use the Play Store's refund flow within 48 hours of purchase. For other concerns, email hello@readycitizen.app.
