On exam day, you’ll have 40 questions in 45 minutes and you’ll need at least 32 correct answers (80%).
What about real-life scenarios?
About 12 out of 40 questions describe everyday situations (at work, at the town hall, at school, etc.). You’ll find them in the mock exam and, with their explanations, in the Citoyen app.
How do I use this test?
- Take the test once without revising to find out your level.
