Every question has four answers and one is right. Because you learn 310 questions in all, it’s often called the 310-question test.

The Leben in Deutschland test at the end of an integration course uses the same questions. There, 15 correct answers earn the certificate; for citizenship you need 17.

Everything the test can ask.

Everyone learns the 300 general questions. Three of the 33 come from the 10 about your state, so add the deck for the state where you’re registered too.
