Official questions: formation-civique.interieur.gouv.fr (multi-year card and resident card; lists consulted on 11 October 2026) and immigration.interieur.gouv.fr (naturalisation; list of 12 December 2025). English translations, answers and explanations written by Recite. Updated 13 October 2026.
How does the real civic exam work?
40 multiple-choice questions in 45 minutes at most, in French, on a computer or tablet at an approved centre: 28 knowledge questions and 12 situation questions (mises en situation). You need 32 correct answers out of 40. This free quiz picks 10, 20 or 40 knowledge questions at random from the official list for your application, with no timer and no situation questions.
The official lists have 191 questions for a first multi-year residence card (carte de séjour pluriannuelle), 209 for the resident card (carte de résident) and 258 for naturalisation. The French State publishes the knowledge questions without the answers: the answers, explanations, sources and English translations in this quiz are written by Recite.
The exam is in French. The English translation is there to help you understand each question, so practise reading the French wording too.
