Which Course Is Right for You?

Oct 11 / Ilona David
When preparing for Hungarian citizenship, one of the first questions people ask is: Do I need the full Citizenship Exam Prep course, or will the Consular Interview Prep be enough? The answer depends on your situation and goals.

The Exam Prep Course – for the official exam

If your path to citizenship requires taking the Hungarian Citizenship Exam, then the Exam Prep course is designed for you. It covers the entire official list of 20 subjects (40 topics), ranging from Hungarian history and constitution to literature, art, and culture.

What makes this course powerful is its structured approach:
• Clear explanations in English and Hungarian.
• Vocabulary lists to build your confidence.
• Shadowing exercises to improve pronunciation.
• Quizzes to test your knowledge.

It is comprehensive and provides everything you need to pass the exam with confidence.

The Consular Interview Prep – for lighter requirements

If your application involves a consular interview only, you may not need the full exam prep. In this case, the Consular Interview Prep is perfect. It focuses on cultural knowledge and conversational practice, helping you handle the questions asked during the interview naturally and confidently.

This lighter course is designed for those who want to connect with Hungary’s culture and answer interview questions without going through the full 40 topics.

How to decide?

• If you must pass the exam → choose the Exam Prep Course.
• If you only need to handle the interview → the Consular Interview Prep will be enough.

Still unsure? Book a personal consultation, and I’ll guide you to the right choice.
