FAQ

FAQ — Czech life and institutions exam

Anything else? Write to us.

What is the Czech life and institutions exam?

A written test of knowledge about the Czech Republic that applicants for Czech citizenship take together with the Czech language exam. It has 30 questions from three areas: civic basics, geography, and history and culture. It is run by ÚJOP of Charles University.

How many correct answers do I need?

At least 18 out of 30, i.e. 60 %. You have 30 minutes, and for each question you choose one of four answers.

When and where is the exam held, and what does it cost?

ÚJOP sets dates roughly once or twice a month (except July and August), always on a Wednesday or Saturday at 10:00 — most often in Prague, less often in Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Olomouc, Liberec, Hradec Králové, České Budějovice and Poděbrady. The fee is CZK 2,000 for this exam and CZK 5,700 together with the Czech language exam. You can apply online at any time; ÚJOP assigns a place based on your preferences.

Where do your questions come from?

From the official public question bank (Databanka testových úloh) published by NPI ČR (version of 5 Jan 2026). We include all 300 tasks unchanged, with the official correct answers; the translations and explanations are ours. Nobody knows in advance which questions a particular exam will use. We are not part of ÚJOP, NPI ČR or the Ministry of the Interior.

Why are the questions in Czech and translated?

In the exam the questions are in Czech only. So every question and answer here is always in Czech, with an English, Ukrainian or Russian translation underneath. You understand the content and get used to the Czech words you will see in the exam. If you do not need the translation, switch the interface to Czech.

How does the exam simulation work?

A simulation picks 30 questions — one from each topic — and gives you 30 minutes, just like the exam. At the end you see whether you reached 18 correct answers and which questions to review.

Is this a subscription?

No. A one-time payment of CZK 790 gives you permanent access to every part of the course.

Can I also get preparation for the Czech language exam?

Yes. The Čeština B1 + České reálie bundle costs CZK 1,690 — CZK 390 less than buying both separately. Both products are then on one account.

I've just paid. What happens now?

After payment you set a password directly. You are redirected to the login screen and get immediate access to your personal practice area.

Can I practise on my phone?

Yes. The platform works in the browser on any device with an internet connection — nothing to install.

Ready for the exam?
