About Einbürgerungstest Ready

Einbürgerungstest Ready is a free learning aid for people who live in Germany and want to pass the Einbürgerungstest or the “Leben in Deutschland” test - especially if German isn’t your first language yet.

Where the questions come from

All 460 questions (300 general and 10 for each of the 16 federal states) come from the official catalogue of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), “Gesamtfragenkatalog zum Test ‘Leben in Deutschland’ und zum ‘Einbürgerungstest’”, as of 07.05.2025. We compared every German question and answer option with the official PDF, and double-checked the answer key independently. Images are taken from the official catalogue.

Translations and explanations

English translations are based on the open-source dataset @cemusta/burgertest (MIT licence) and reviewed and corrected by us. All explanations, memory tips and guides are written by us. In the exam only the German original counts.
