About the Czech Civil Service Exam Exam

The Úřednická zkouška is the statutory professional-competence examination under Act No. 234/2014 Coll. for Czech state civil servants and eligible applicants. A civil servant must pass the general part within nine months of entering service and the special part for each service field assigned to the post. Official assessment is in Czech and combines a 3-option written general test with field-specific oral interviews. This bank is an English-language, 4-option MCQ adaptation of the general-part curriculum; it is not an official translation, does not simulate the special oral parts, and should be supplemented with speaking practice and the current materials for the candidate's own service field.

Assessment

The official exam has a Czech written general part (30 questions, 30 minutes, 23/30 pass) and a Czech oral special part for each required service field. For a special part, the candidate draws 3 of 20 published topics and has a guided interview before a 3-member commission; at least 2 of the 3 topics must receive a passing evaluation. The special part usually lasts no more than 60 minutes, including 15–30 minutes of preparation.
