Lithuanian Constitution exam: a 4-week study plan

The exam is short: 20 questions, 3 answer options, 45 minutes, and you need at least 14 correct. The hard part is not the amount of material but that the questions are in Lithuanian only. Here is a 4-week plan at 20–30 minutes a day. This is our advice, not an official NŠA programme.

Before you start

Open the official exam programme and keep the text of the Constitution at hand.
Take one mock exam right away, before studying. The score shows where to start and takes the fear out of the format.
Plan your date: NŠA advises passing the state language exam first. How to register is explained in our step-by-step guide.

Week 1: the state and human rights

Start with the first chapters of the Constitution: the State of Lithuania (Lietuvos valstybė), the individual and the State (Žmogus ir valstybė), society and the State (Visuomenė ir valstybė). Keep your own list of 30–40 terms, for example: pilietis (citizen), teisė (right), pareiga (duty), rinkimai (elections).

Week 2: the institutions

The Seimas, the President of the Republic (Respublikos Prezidentas), the Government (Vyriausybė), the Constitutional Court (Konstitucinis Teismas) and the courts (Teismas). For each institution write down three things: who forms it, for how long, and what it decides. These details are the easiest to mix up, because similar answer options sit side by side.

Week 3: the remaining chapters

The national economy and labour (Tautos ūkis ir darbas), local self-government (Vietos savivalda ir valdymas), finance and the state budget (Finansai ir valstybės biudžetas), State Control (Valstybės kontrolė), foreign policy and national defence (Užsienio politika ir valstybės gynimas), amending the Constitution (Konstitucijos keitimas). At the end of the week, go over every number and term of office in your notes.

Week 4: exam format only

Every day or every other day: one full mock test with a timer, no translation and no hints.
After each test, go through every mistake: not only the right answer, but why the other options are wrong.
Read the common mistakes and what happens on exam day.

How to learn the Lithuanian wording

Read each question in Lithuanian first and only then look at the translation. There is no translation in the exam.
Learn terms as whole phrases, not single words.
Watch the short words that change the meaning: ne (not), tik (only), visi (all).

When are you ready

The benchmark we suggest: several different mock tests in a row with 16–17 correct out of 20, a safe margin above the required 14. This is not a guarantee, because our questions are our own practice questions, not official exam questions.
