Studying for the citizenship test shouldn’t feel like a flashcard pile.
Civik turns all 128 official USCIS civics questions into daily streaks, XP, and spoken mock interviews scored the way the real interview is. I designed and built it as a personal concept, and it’s currently in private beta while I test it with real applicants.
