The citizen's booklet is an official resource that helps understand the level of knowledge expected (principles, institutions, historical and cultural landmarks). It is a good foundation, provided you use it actively (revision + practice), not just through "passive" reading.
Civique 2026 is an independent training tool. It is not affiliated with public authorities.
What Is Its Connection to the 2026 Civic Exam?
Official sources describe a civic exam in the following format:
- 40 questions, 45 minutes, objective 32/40
- 28 knowledge questions + 12 situational questions
The booklet helps mainly with "knowledge" (landmarks, principles, institutions). Situational questions require applying values to concrete cases.
How to Use It for Effective Revision
- Read by themes (values, institutions, rights/duties, history/culture/geography, life in France).
- Summarize aloud each theme in 30–60 seconds.
- Practice immediately afterward (practice multiple-choice questions).
- Do timed simulations to work on stress and time management.
