Einbürgerungstest Extra Practice Questions: Mixed Set Across All Topics (2026)

This is a mixed practice set that spans all three subject areas of the official Einbürgerungstest pool: politics and democracy, society, and history. The questions here are additional practice questions, written by us in German as fresh variants of the official BAMF catalogue questions, and each one cites the official question it mirrors. They are clearly marked as not part of the official test, and they will not appear word for word on the real paper. Their job is different: to check that you understand the fact behind each official question, not just its answer letter.

Why practise with variants instead of only the official wording?

Because the whole nationwide pool is published, many candidates drill the official questions until they recognise the correct option by shape and position rather than by meaning. That works until nerves, or a reshuffled answer order, break the pattern. A variant question defends against exactly that. Take Article 1 of the Grundgesetz: the official question asks which basic right Article 1 guarantees (the inviolability of human dignity), while our variant asks which sentence stands at the start of Article 1 ("Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar."). Same fact, different door. Or take Freizügigkeit: the official item asks what the right of freedom of movement means, while the variant tells a story, a family moving from Köln to Hamburg for work, and asks which basic right they are using. A variant can also probe one step deeper along the same official fact, for instance asking which body decides on banning an unconstitutional party: the Bundesverfassungsgericht. If you can answer both the official question and its variant, you actually know the material.

How should you use this mixed set?

Work through the three official topic guides first, Politik in der Demokratie, Mensch und Gesellschaft and Geschichte und Verantwortung, so the facts are in place. Then use this set the way you would use a second mock: mixed, unpredictable, and spanning the whole pool at once, which is exactly how the real 33-question paper feels. Every question in this set carries a source reference of the form "Variante zu BAMF Nr. X", naming the official nationwide question it is modelled on, so when a variant catches you out you can jump straight back to the official item and its explanation and repair the gap. Two honesty notes, the same ones we print in the app: these variants are our own work, not official BAMF questions, and the set is labelled "nicht amtlich" (not official) wherever it appears; and passing practice questions, official or variant, is preparation, not a guarantee, so keep sitting timed mocks until you clear 17 of 33 comfortably and consistently.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these extra practice questions official Einbürgerungstest questions?

No. They are our own practice questions, written in German as variants of the official BAMF catalogue items, and they are explicitly marked as not part of the official test ("nicht amtlich"). Every variant cites the official nationwide question it is modelled on, in the form "Variante zu BAMF Nr. X", so you can always trace it back to the official source.

Will these questions appear on the real Einbürgerungstest?

Not word for word. The real test draws its 30 nationwide questions from the official BAMF catalogue, and its remaining 3 from your federal state's questions. These variants rephrase the same facts, so the knowledge they test absolutely will appear, just behind the official wording. If a variant trips you up, the underlying official question probably would too.

Why should I practise variants if the official pool is published anyway?

Because recognising an official answer by its shape is not the same as knowing the fact. Variants swap the angle: a right named in the official question becomes a real-life scenario, a date becomes an event, a definition becomes an example. Candidates who can answer both forms walk into the test centre with understanding, which survives nerves far better than memorised letters.

Does this mixed set cover all parts of the Einbürgerungstest?

Yes, it spans all three subject areas of the nationwide pool: Politik in der Demokratie, Mensch und Gesellschaft and Geschichte und Verantwortung, mixed together the way the real 33-question paper mixes them. It does not cover your federal state's 3 questions, which depend on where you live; check your Bundesland's official state questions separately.

Are the free questions on this page different from the ones in the app?

They are a free slice of the same bank. The app contains the full set: the official nationwide questions plus this extra practice set, 552 questions and 263 flashcards in total, each with explanations in German, English, Turkish, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian, offline, for a one-time 4.99 euros. This page shows a sample so you can judge the difficulty first.
