Einbürgerungstest Bremen
- City-state
- 10 state questions in the catalogue
For naturalisation in Bremen you take the Einbürgerungstest. It is the same test as everywhere in Germany, just with its own questions about your Bundesland. The official catalogue holds 300 federal questions and 10 specific to Bremen. Your test is drawn from it: 33 questions, 60 minutes, 17 correct answers to pass. Prepare well and you can pass on your first attempt, and avoid the €25 retake fee and the wait for a new appointment. That is exactly what Klartest is built for: you practise every official question, including the 10 for Bremen, explained in your language. Not just the right answer, but why it is right and which words in the question matter. So you sit the test knowing what to expect.

That's all you need
Time is rarely the problem
Same nationwide, unlimited retakes
You will not get your result the same day. BAMF assesses the tests centrally. Expect several weeks, or up to about three months if there is a backlog. You can retake as often as you like, but each attempt costs another €25 and you wait for the next available appointment. That is why it is worth passing on your first attempt.

Book your test early
You usually take the test at a Volkshochschule (adult education centre). Tests are usually held monthly and often fill up. In bigger cities you may wait 2 to 3 months for a place, and longer in some areas. So register before you finish studying. The wait for your test date is time you can use to study.
