98. What is the name of the national anthem?
Integrated Civics · Symbols
Accepted answer(s)
- The Star-Spangled Banner
USCIS officers ask this on the 2008 Civics Test because understanding "integrated civics" is core to how the U.S. system works day to day. Memorize the exact answer above rather than a paraphrase — officers accept the wording USCIS publishes, and "The Star-Spangled Banner" is the safest phrasing to say out loud in the interview.
This is question 98 of the 2008 Civics Test. See it on uscis.gov. This question is worded the same way on the 2025 Civics Test.
