Federal base

Basic preparation: the official federal questions borrowed from another canton — not this canton’s real questions.

The real exam is oral. These values are for practice only and do not reproduce the official exam.

Real exam — How the test works

Oral exam, passed before you apply

Glarus has no written test. The knowledge exam is oral (KBS Glarus, on the canton's behalf, before you apply); the number of questions, duration and pass mark are not published and there is no catalogue. For now, we prepare you with the basic federal questions (taken from Zürich's Grundkenntnistest) — these are not the real exam questions.
