Revise
The whole civic exam syllabus.
The five official topics, with what to remember and the first study sheet of their course, then the three applications and their sample questions.
The 5 topics
Topic 01
Principles and values of the Republic
This is the topic that opens the syllabus, and often the most abstract one at first sight.
Revise this topicTopic 02
Institutions and political system
This is the most factual topic of the syllabus, and therefore the one where you gain the most points in the least time.
Revise this topicTopic 03
Rights and duties
This topic is the pivot of the syllabus: it feeds the scenario questions more than any other.
Revise this topicTopic 04
History, geography and culture
This is the broadest topic, and therefore the one that worries people most.
Revise this topicTopic 05
Living in French society
This is the most concrete topic of the syllabus, and often the most reassuring: it deals with things you have already done.
