All the questions come from Annex 1 of the Pravilnik (NN 6/2021): some have four options to circle, others need the answer written in.

Why this answerQuestions people ask.
- What is the test of Croatian culture and social order like?
- You fill in a questionnaire of 15 questions that the official chooses at random from the 110 of the Pravilnik. They cover the social order, history, culture, customs, art, literature, sport, the economy, tourism and geography. You fill it in alone, without help, before an official of the police administration or station that takes your citizenship application.
- How many right answers do I need to pass?
- You pass with at least 10 of the 15 questions right. The official marks the questionnaire at once and tells you the result straight away.
- Are these the real exam questions?
- Yes. All 110 questions are published in Annex 1 of the Pravilnik (NN 6/2021), and the questionnaires are made only of them. No official answers are published, so the answers and explanations here are ours, made with AI. The currency question is answered with the euro and the cent, which Croatia has used since 1 January 2023.
- Can I take the test in English?
- No. The questionnaire is in Croatian, and written answers must be written in Croatian, in Latin script. That is why every question here also shows its Croatian wording: the English translation helps you understand it, but in the exam you will read it in Croatian. In our mock you also write answers in Croatian; lower case, missing diacritics and small spelling slips are not counted as mistakes.
- How long does the test take?
- You have 60 minutes for the questionnaire. Our mock gives you the same 60 minutes for 15 questions drawn at random from the 110.
