Frequently asked questions
- Straight from the Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF). The full catalog ("Gesamtfragenkatalog zum Test Leben in Deutschland und zum Einbürgerungstest") is a free download (May 2025 edition).
- Yes. The test draws 33 random questions from this very 460-question catalog (300 general + 10 per Bundesland). Master the catalog, pass the test.
- Only partly. You can read every question once, but without instant feedback you retain wrong answers less well. Interactive practice with explanations is measurably more effective.
- The test has 33 single-choice questions: 30 general plus 3 specific to your Bundesland. You pass with 17 correct answers or more.
- You have 60 minutes for all 33 questions — just under two minutes each on average. Plenty of time if you have prepared.
- The fee is €25 per attempt. If you completed a recognised integration course, BAMF covers the fee for the „Leben in Deutschland" final exam.
