Why Staatsbürgertest?

Built around how the exam actually works

Most quiz apps hand you a percentage. The Staatsbürgerschaftsprüfung does not work that way: it has three examination areas, partial credit, and two independent routes to a pass. This app is built around those rules.

Scored per examination area

Results break down by area, not into one number — because that is the unit the real exam passes or fails you on.

Timed mock exams

18 questions, two hours, feedback only at the end, automatic submission when the time runs out.

One to three right answers

Four options, one to three of them correct. One wrong tick costs the whole question — partly right earns partial points. The app marks it exactly that way.

55 lessons that teach first

The material is explained before you are tested on it, and each lesson ends with the questions it covers.

A source on every question

The B-VG, the State Treaty, a Landesverfassung, Statistik Austria — every question names where it comes from.

Your Bundesland

The third examination area is about the Land you apply in. Dedicated question packs for Wien, Oberösterreich, Steiermark, Kärnten and Burgenland.

Ten study languages

Study in German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Dari / Farsi or Bosnian / Croatian / Serbian. The exam itself is in German in all nine Bundesländer, so the German term stands beside every translation.

Your weak areas

The home screen counts down to your exam date and puts the examination area you are weakest in first.

Offline and private

Every question, lesson and fact sheet is bundled in the app. It makes no network calls of its own, collects nothing, and needs no account.

How it is scored

9 out of 18 can pass. 11 out of 18 can fail.

That is not a quirk — it follows directly from the rules. A single percentage cannot tell you where you stand, so the app never shows you one.

Questions, in two hours

Spread across the three examination areas, with the clock running.

Options, one to three correct

You are not looking for “the” answer. You are deciding, for each option, whether it belongs.

Points for one wrong tick

Mark an option that does not belong and the whole question is lost, however much else you got right.

Credit for partly right

Find some of the correct options and none of the wrong ones, and the question earns partial points.

A timed mock exam scored per examination area

Route one

Half in every area

At least 50 % of the points in each of the three examination areas. Strength in one area cannot rescue a gap in another.

Route two

Two thirds overall

At least 66 % of the total points across the whole paper, however they are distributed.

Neither route replaces the other, and the app works out both after every mock exam — showing you the result per examination area, so you know which of the two you are actually close to.

The material

Three examination areas

Two are the same wherever you apply. The third is about your Bundesland — and that is where the question paper changes at the Land border.

Area 1 — Democratic order

The B-VG, the Nationalrat and Bundesrat, elections, direct democracy, the federal structure and the rule of law.

Area 2 — History of Austria

From the monarchy through the First Republic, the NS period, the State Treaty and neutrality, to the EU and today.

Area 3 — Your Bundesland

The history, institutions and geography of the Land you are applying in. Five Land packs ship today.

Wien

30 questions. The only Land whose Landtag and Gemeinderat are the same body.

Oberösterreich

30 questions on Upper Austria’s institutions, history and geography.

Steiermark

30 questions on Styria — its Landtag, its districts and its history.

Kärnten

30 questions on Carinthia, including the 1920 plebiscite and the Slovene minority.

Burgenland

30 questions on Austria’s youngest Land, which joined the republic in 1921.

All nine Bundesländer

Honest about the gaps

Every Land gets a fact sheet, free and never locked. Five get a question pack. The other four publish their own official catalogues — and the app sends you there instead of pretending to replace them.

Where you sit the exam

Which authority in your Land examines you, and where its official page is.

Fees, where published

Listed only for the Land that publishes a figure. The rest say so rather than guess.

One exam language

German, in all nine Bundesländer. Study in your own language, meet the German term as you go.

Official catalogues

Niederösterreich, Tirol, Salzburg and Vorarlberg publish their own Land questions — the app links them.

Wien Oberösterreich Steiermark Kärnten Burgenland Niederösterreich Tirol Salzburg Vorarlberg

Highlighted Länder ship a question pack in the app. The other four publish an official catalogue of their own, which the app points you to.

Written from official sources

Not copied from anyone’s catalogue

Sourced

A citation on every question

Each of the 289 questions names where it comes from — an article of the Bundes-Verfassungsgesetz, the Staatsvertrag, a Landesverfassung, or a figure from Statistik Austria.

Original

Written, not scraped

The four Länder that publish catalogues put 359 official question stems into the public domain. Every question here is checked against all of them before release, so none of it is a rewording of somebody else’s paper.

Explained

An explanation on every answer

Knowing that B and D are correct is not the same as understanding why. Every question comes with the reasoning, shown whether you were right or wrong.
