On December 1, 2020, the naturalization civics test -- one of the final steps toward gaining citizenship -- was updated to a more difficult 2020 version. The new test added more up-to-date and in-depth questions. Now, USCIS has announced that it will revert back to the old 2008 civics test starting March 1, 2021.
If you filed your N-400 on or after December 1, 2020 and before March 1, 2021 and will have your interview before April 19, 2021, you can choose to take either the 2008 or 2020 test version. After March 1, 2021, the 2008 civics test will be back in place.
This change is a result of the change in presidency and a softer approach to immigration policy. Specifically, it is to align immigration policy more closely with Biden's Executive Order on Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems.
