Like it says, I took the Einbürgerungstest this past weekend. The questions are a mix of things that feel pretty obvious (which war lasted from 1939-1945) and things that require memorization (Which chancellor was responsible for the Ostverträge?). In a lot of ways, it feels like another language exam: if you understand German well enough to understand the questions, you can probably pass.

We officially had an hour, but I was done within 8 minutes, and I wasn't the first :).

One step closer to citizenship!

I think a lot of questions would be failed by native Germans. I just went through the questionaire and questions such as "Was wird am 27. Januar gedacht?" would maybe be known by 20% of Germans top.

With multiple choice? I really hope not.
