Frequently Asked Questions
What terms are in the free glossary?
Our free glossary includes 32 universal terms organised alphabetically, plus country-specific glossaries for the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Each term includes a clear definition and context for how it appears on citizenship tests.
Are these the actual terms from the test?
Yes. Our glossary covers actual civics and government terminology from official citizenship test materials. We've compiled the key terms that regularly appear on US citizenship tests, UK Life in the UK exams, Canadian citizenship assessments, and Australian citizenship tests.
What's the difference between universal and country-specific terms?
Universal terms apply to multiple citizenship tests across countries. Examples include "democracy," "amendment," and "constitution." Country-specific terms are unique to individual citizenship exams, such as US constitutional references, UK parliamentary procedures, or Canadian governmental structures.
How should I use the glossary to study?
Use the glossary as a reference while practising test questions. When you encounter an unfamiliar term, look it up here to understand its definition and context. Then use StudyPass practice tests to apply that knowledge in realistic exam scenarios.
Is the glossary free?
Yes, our entire glossary is completely free. All 32 universal terms, country-specific glossaries, and definitions are available at no cost. We also offer free citizenship practice tests with limited questions to help you prepare.
Can I use the glossary on my phone?
Yes. The glossary and all StudyPass resources are fully optimised for mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. You can study terms on the go during your commute, on a break, or whenever you have a few minutes to spare.
