Everything you need to know about the test and how to prepare.
The "Leben in Deutschland" (Living in Germany) test checks basic knowledge of politics, history and society in Germany. It is required for naturalisation (Einbürgerungstest) and is also part of the orientation course of the integration course. All questions come from the official catalogue of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF).
The test has 33 multiple-choice questions and lasts 60 minutes: 30 general questions and 3 about your federal state. You pass the naturalisation test with at least 17 correct answers. For the integration course, 15 correct answers are enough.
The catalogue contains 300 general questions that apply everywhere in Germany, plus 10 questions for each of the 16 federal states. So you study 310 questions: the 300 general ones and the 10 of the state you live in.
