About 60% of the test is on government, legislation and civic participation (Constitution, institutions, rights) and 40% on culture, history and society (geography, traditions, daily life and procedures). Questions are short (30–40 words) and a glossary of terms is provided. The test is on paper, in contemporary peninsular Spanish. This is an external link; the publisher's terms of use apply.
