Frequently asked questions
What candidates ask us most
Short answers to the questions we hear most often about the exam and about the app.
What is the “Vivre ensemble au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg” exam?
It is the civic education test taken by people applying for Luxembourg nationality by naturalisation or by option. It checks a basic knowledge of fundamental rights, the institutions of the State and the communes, and the history of Luxembourg and European integration. Passing this exam is one of the two ways to obtain the “Vivre ensemble” certificate; the other is to complete the full course.
What is the difference between the course and the exam?
They are two alternative routes to the same certificate. The course is 12 sessions of two hours, 24 hours in total, split across three modules; you must take an active part from start to finish of every required session. The exam is a single paper of 40 questions in 60 minutes. Anyone who completes the full course does not also sit the exam, and vice versa. The official portal recommends the exam route to people who are already well informed and able to prepare independently.
How many questions are there and how long does the exam last?
The paper has 40 multiple-choice questions and lasts 60 minutes. That works out at about one minute thirty per question, which is comfortable if you know the material and tight if you hesitate for long on several questions. Practising under timed conditions therefore matters at least as much as learning the content.
What is the pass mark?
You need at least 28 correct answers out of 40, or 70 %. In other words, you can get up to 12 questions wrong. It is a demanding but attainable threshold: it does not require knowing everything, it requires a solid grasp of the central notions in all three subjects.
Which subjects are assessed, and with what weight?
The paper splits into three blocks: 10 questions on the fundamental rights of citizens (25 %), 20 on the institutions of the State and the communes (50 %), and 10 on the history of Luxembourg and European integration (25 %). Institutions alone carry half the marks, so that is where most of your revision time belongs.
Are your questions the official exam questions?
No, and nobody can honestly claim otherwise: no official question bank is published. Our questions were written from publicly available teaching material, in the same format as the paper and on the same subjects. Their role is to train you on the notions and on the format, not to make you memorise a questionnaire.
Does the app work without an internet connection?
Yes, completely. Questions and explanations are bundled into the app at download. You can revise on a train, underground or on a plane. A connection is only needed to buy or restore full access.
Is the app available on Android?
Not yet. VivreEnsemblePrep is currently published on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. An Android version is in preparation. In the meantime, the free simulator on this site works in any mobile browser, including on Android.
