The official syllabus

Three subjects, and a weighting you need to know

The official syllabus splits the exam into three blocks. Institutions alone carry half the marks, and the app applies exactly that split to every mock exam.

In practice

Three steps, roughly two weeks

The method we recommend to anyone preparing the exam independently.

  1. 1

    Learn the format first

    Start with the built-in guide: format, pass mark, question split and exam-day rules. Five minutes that prevent most unpleasant surprises.

  2. 2

    Revise subject by subject

    Work through each subject in practice mode, with immediate feedback and the course extract after every answer. Spend half your time on institutions.

  3. 3

    Run mock exams back to back

    Sit full 40-question papers timed at 60 minutes until you clear 28/40 consistently rather than by luck.

Nothing to install

Why you can trust it

Faithful practice, verifiable content, no empty promises

We would rather state exactly what the app does than inflate the numbers.

  • Built on the official syllabus

    The three subjects and their exact weighting — 10 fundamental rights questions, 20 institutions, 10 history and European integration — follow the structure published by the official portal.

  • Every answer is sourced

    After each question the app shows the extract from the course material that justifies the correct answer, with its page number. You can verify, not just memorise.

  • 60 explained questions

    20 questions per subject, written from public teaching material. They are not the official exam questions, and we do not claim otherwise.

  • Timed mock exam

    40 questions drawn at random following the official split, a 60-minute countdown, and the 28-correct-answer threshold applied to the final result.

  • Progress tracking

    Overall and per-subject accuracy, best score, last score and number of completed exams. Everything is stored on the device, never on a server.

  • Works fully offline

    Questions, explanations and extracts are bundled inside the app. Revise on a train, underground or on a plane.

  • Five languages, questions included

    French, English, German, Italian and Portuguese: the interface and all questions are translated, not just the menus.

  • Available on iPhone and iPad

    Published on the App Store and updated regularly. The Android version is in preparation.

How people use it

What a successful preparation looks like

These quotes are illustrative examples written by our team to show typical revision journeys. They do not come from identified users and are not verified reviews.

  • Illustrative example
    I revised twenty minutes a day on the tram. What changed everything was the course extract shown after each mistake: I understood why I got it wrong instead of re-memorising blindly.
    A typical journeyDaily revision, 3 weeks
  • Illustrative example
    Institutions are half the questions and they were my weak point. Working on that one subject for a week took my mock exam average from 24 to 33.

  • Illustrative example
    The timer helped as much as the questions did. By the third mock exam I had stopped checking the clock every two minutes.
