The official passing score is 32/40, or 80%. That means a candidate can make up to eight mistakes and still reach the threshold exactly.
Do not aim only for 32 in practice
A practice score at the exact threshold gives little margin. Try to score consistently above it on varied sets and timed mocks.
Look at topic performance
A 34/40 result can still hide a weak area if most errors come from one theme. Use topic analytics to decide what to revise next.
What the readiness score means
Citizenship Test Hub’s readiness score is a study aid combining overall performance and weaker-topic performance. It is not an official pass probability.
If you are just below the threshold
Review the themes responsible for your errors, study the official material behind those concepts and take a targeted practice set before repeating a full mock exam.
What 32/40 means
The passing threshold is 32 correct answers out of 40, which is 80%. In a practice environment, however, a single 32/40 result should not be treated as proof that you are ready. Question difficulty varies, and one attempt may happen to match the topics you know best.
Use a score trend instead of one result
Record several mock exams completed under the 45-minute limit. Look for consistent performance and check whether the same theme repeatedly produces mistakes. A learner scoring 35, 36 and 34 on different sets is showing a stronger pattern than someone who scores 32 once after repeated exposure to the same questions.
Separate knowledge gaps from reading mistakes
When reviewing an incorrect answer, decide whether you did not know the concept, misunderstood the French, rushed, or confused two similar options. Each cause needs a different response. Knowledge gaps need source review; language errors need vocabulary and reading practice; rushed errors need better pacing.
Aim for a safety margin
Use the official threshold as the minimum, not the training goal. Stable scores several points above 32 give you more room for unfamiliar wording or an unexpectedly difficult set. Citizenship Test Hub's readiness indicator is only a study aid and never a guarantee or official prediction.
After a weak result
Do not immediately repeat the identical mock until you memorise its answers. Review the weakest category, take a focused practice set, wait, and then use a different mixed mock. This gives you better evidence that the underlying knowledge improved.
