How to Pass the Constitution Exam in 30 Days

Passing the Constitution exam in 30 days

The Lithuanian Constitution basics exam is required both for citizenship by naturalisation and for a permanent residence permit. It looks daunting at first, but the material is finite and predictable — thirty days of steady work is genuinely enough.

Here is a structured plan, week by week.

What the exam actually is

It tests your understanding of how the Lithuanian state works:

• The powers and functions of the Seimas, the Government, the President and the courts
• Human rights, freedoms and civic duties
• National defence, elections, state finances and local self-government
• The relationship between the individual and the state

The format is fixed: 20 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each, 14 correct to pass (70%). It is sat in Lithuanian — no translation, no dictionary. The fee is €21 and you must register at migracija.lt at least 15 calendar days beforehand.

Why 30 days is enough

The Constitution has 154 articles and the exam draws on a stable set of topics. Two topics a day, a quiz after each, then mock exams once you have covered everything — that is the whole method.

Week 1 — the institutions (days 1–7)

Start with the bodies the exam asks about most:

• The Seimas — composition, term, how laws are passed
• The Government — how it is formed, what it does
• The President — election, powers, the 40-year age requirement
• The courts, including the Constitutional Court

Goal: a solid grasp of how the state is structured.

Week 2 — the articles that recur (days 8–14)

Some articles come up again and again. Learn the number as well as the content:

• Article 12 — citizenship
• Article 14 — the state language
• Article 29 — equality before the law
• Article 46 — the national economy
• Article 69 — how laws and constitutional laws are adopted

Goal: recall the key articles by number, confidently.

Week 3 — mock exams (days 15–21)

One timed mock exam a day, in the official format. Read the explanation for every question you get wrong, not just the ones you guessed. This is where most of the improvement happens.

Goal: consistently above 80% — a comfortable margin over the 70% you need.

Week 4 — the weak spots (days 22–30)

Go back to whatever you keep getting wrong: articles that are easy to confuse, anything on defence, the budget or the courts. Re-take mock exams until your score stops moving.

Goal: stable results well above the pass mark before exam day.

Four things that make the difference

• Study a little every day. Fifteen to thirty minutes daily beats a long session once a week.
• Read the explanations. Understanding why an answer is right is what makes it stick; memorising the answer alone does not survive a reworded question.
• Learn the numbers. Terms of office, ages, vote thresholds and member counts are the exam's favourite material.
• Practise in Lithuanian too. You can study in English or Russian, but the exam is in Lithuanian — spend some of your practice there.
