To graduate in Wisconsin, you must pass a 100-question civics exam comprised of questions from the official USCIS naturalization test. You need to answer at least 65 questions correctly to receive your high school diploma. The best way to study is to focus on these three core areas:
Principles of American Democracy: Study the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the separation of powers.
System of Government: Learn the roles of the three branches of government, as well as powers reserved for both the federal and state governments.
Wisconsin State Specifics: Know that Madison is the capital and be familiar with the current elected officials serving the state.
For comprehensive practice, you can study using flashcards and quizzes on Quizlet, or view the full list of required topics directly from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
