Civics Test Requirement: From the Minnesota Department of Education's website

The 89th Minnesota Legislature's H.F. No. 2749, Conference Committee Report, Article 5, Section 3, includes subdivision 3 titled: "Required knowledge and understanding of civics." This subdivision states, "Students enrolled in a public school must correctly answer at least 30 of the 50 civics test questions." (View the full bill here; see line 444.30.) The Learning Law and Democracy Foundation, in consultation with civics teachers, annually selects 50 of the 100 questions used by the United States citizenship and immigration services (USCIS Naturalization Test). The selected test questions are posted on Minnesota's Legacy website. This legislation is effective for students enrolling in grade 9 in the 2017-2018 school year. Read the Civics Test Questions FAQ for more information.

However, it is done 20 questions at a time so it may benefit you to take it several times. Our test has 50 out of the 100 possible questions. Although many have been altered to highlight our state or increase the difficulty and rigor of the test.
