American Civics Prep

The civics answers that change — and their current values

Most of the 128 civics questions have fixed answers. Seven do not — they name current officeholders, and they change with elections and appointments. This page lists each one with its answer as of the date shown.

How updates work: a person is not a correct test answer until they are sworn in. Winners of the November 3, 2026 midterm elections take office when the next Congress convenes in early January 2027 (the exact day is set by law) — so through November and December 2026 the correct answers are still the current incumbents, and this site updates at swearing-in, not on election night.

The seven election-dependent questions

#Question (2025 test)Current answerVerified
23 Who is one of your state's U.S. senators now? Your two U.S. senators — depends on your state. Find your state below. — nga.org / senate.gov
29 Name your U.S. representative. Depends on your congressional district — no single statewide answer. Find your state below. — nga.org / senate.gov
30 What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now? Mike Johnson — speaker.gov (indexed pages dated July 2026; direct fetch 403)
38 What is the name of the President of the United States now? Donald J. Trump — whitehouse.gov/administration
39 What is the name of the Vice President of the United States now? JD Vance — whitehouse.gov/administration

61 Who is the governor of your state now? Your governor — depends on your state. Find your state below. — nga.org / senate.gov

Sources vary in directness: the President and Vice President were verified against whitehouse.gov directly; the Speaker and Chief Justice entries record the closest official source available on the verification date (noted per row above).

One more that varies: question 62

Question 62, What is the capital of your state? — depends on your state but does not change with elections. State capitals are stable; your answer is on your state's page.

Find your state

Each state page carries the current governor, both U.S. senators, and the capital — the answers to questions 23, 29, 61, and 62 for where you live.
