33/33!!! A real onehundredpercent german! (but who sorted out the questions?)
This test is typical for Germany: a buerocracy-made exam, politically very correct, which you can pass as often as you need, just to certify that Germany is not like it was in the old times…

Hey! I’m German (living in NRW) and got 33/33.
But I have to say there are a lot of younger germans (18-25) i know who did quite badly… something i find pretty sad. because in my opinion any german who paid/pays attention in school and/or is remotely familiar with politics and history should have no problems getting at least 28/33.

@ bluefish: there is no short answer to your question, but if you want to know more… here is the link to the website of the Department of the Interior(it’s in english):

I was surprised I did as well as I did, 30 out of 33. I think the flag questions are kinda lame. Wouldn’t questions about the government be better for a citizenship test? This was also supposed to be simple, easy German, but it isn’t. I have lived here 21 years and think I am pretty darn good, and parts of it were tough. Who has ever heard of a schöppe?
I think I will keep my American pass just the same.
