A practice test in the exam format
The civic exam (examen civique) has 40 multiple-choice questions in French: 28 knowledge questions and 12 scenario questions (mises en situation), with only one correct answer out of four. You have 45 minutes at most, and you need 32 correct answers to pass. Our practice test follows this format, with a timer and the same split across the five themes. It usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
No time today? The express test
The express test has 10 questions taken from the same practice test: two per theme, including two scenario questions, with a 12-minute timer. It gives you an overview of your weak points by theme, with each mistake explained and its source. It is not the exam format: to measure yourself against the pass mark of 32 out of 40, take the full practice test. You can also stop the full test whenever you want: you then see a partial result based on your answers, with your mistakes explained.
Format described by the ministère de l'Intérieur on formation-civique.interieur.gouv.fr and by service-public.gouv.fr (in French).
What you get at the end
- Your score out of 40, with the pass mark of 32 correct answers.
- Your result theme by theme, and separately for the scenario questions.
- Each of your mistakes explained (in French, with an English version), starting with your weakest theme, with its public source.
- All of this for free, with no account and no email.
How to practise next
First go back to the theme where you made the most mistakes. Read the explanation and the source of each mistake, then do more questions on that theme before taking another full practice test. For examples by theme, go to the sample questions with answers (in French), and for the format in detail, to how the exam works.
