Swiss citizenship test Uri: free exam preparation

Real exam — How the test works

«Staatskundetest» (bwz uri), format unpublished

Uri assesses with a written civics test, but the number of questions, duration and pass mark are not published, and there is no official question catalogue. For now, we prepare you with the basic federal questions (taken from Zürich's Grundkenntnistest) — these are not the real exam questions.
