How the test works
The test has 33 multiple-choice questions: 30 from the general catalogue of 300 questions and 3 about your federal state. You have 60 minutes. With 17 correct answers you pass the Einbürgerungstest needed for German citizenship; 15 correct answers are enough for the “Leben in Deutschland” part of the integration course.
The exam is in German. That is why we show the official German question and answers together with an English translation, so you recognise the exact wording on exam day.
