The civic exam in brief

What is the French civic exam?

The examen civique is a multiple-choice test on the principles and values of the Republic, institutions, rights and duties, history, geography and culture, and everyday life in France. It is also called the civic test or QCM civique, and it has been mandatory since 1 January 2026.

Who has to take it?

Foreign nationals applying for a multi-year residence permit (carte de séjour pluriannuelle, CSP), a resident card (carte de résident, CR) or French citizenship by naturalisation. There is one version per application: CSP, CR and NAT.

How does the exam work?

40 multiple-choice questions, including real-life situations, in at most 45 minutes. You need at least 32 correct answers to pass, that is 80%. A wrong or missing answer scores zero.

Is this mock exam free?

Yes, with an account you can take mock exams for free. With Pro, they are unlimited.

What about the naturalisation interview?

For naturalisation, the assimilation interview at the prefecture comes on top of the civic exam. You can practise it out loud with our AI inspector.
