FAQ
How does the citizenship test work in Zurich?
Zurich decides: written, oral in the interview, or both, and how many questions. Our guide to the canton sums up the format, the questions and the pass mark; the Zurich edition supplies the material.
What makes the Zurich edition different from the general handbook?
It contains the complete federal course (Parts I, II and IV) plus its own Part III: 7 lessons on Zurich and 35 canton-specific practice questions with explanations. Exactly the local material that often decides the interview.
Which languages is the book in?
German, English, French and Italian. All four language versions (PDF + EPUB) are included in one purchase.
Can I switch editions later?
