Lithuanian Constitution Exam: How Exam Day Works and What Is Banned

How the Lithuanian Constitution exam runs by the clock: the ID check, the room rules, what is banned, late arrival, how to finish and what to do if it freezes.

Fluent is an unofficial learning service, not a state body. This article is a reference overview, not legal advice: NŠA and the Migration Department set the rules and dates, so check the official pages.

Where these rules come from

This article retells the NŠA instruction for running the Constitution exam electronically. It was approved by the director's order VK-395 of 28 April 2026. NŠA may change a scheduled date, move the start time earlier or later, or change the method of the exam, so check the NŠA page before you go.

In short

  • The exam is electronic: you take it on a computer in the exam room. Tablets are not allowed for the exam.
  • It starts at 14:00 and lasts 45 minutes, from 14:00 to 14:45.
  • You need a valid identity document at the door.
  • Check the fee on the official NŠA page.

Exam day by the clock

  1. 13:40–14:00. Identity check against a valid identity document. Candidates are let in and seated according to the list.
  2. 13:45–14:00. The invigilator warns that the exam runs only in fullscreen mode. They say the system records when you leave fullscreen, copy text or paste text. They remind you that internet sources, mobile phones and other devices, help from others, photographing, filming and screenshots are not allowed. Then they hand out the login data and state how long the exam lasts.
  3. You are asked to log in, check that your own name shows on the screen, read the instructions and start only after the start is announced.
  4. 14:00. The exam starts.
  5. 14:30. The invigilator announces that 15 minutes are left. From this time, candidates who have finished early may leave the room.
  6. 14:45. Time is over. The invigilator reminds you once more about the two buttons that end the work (see the section below).

What is banned and what happens if you break a rule

You are removed from the room for any of these:

  • outside help;
  • a banned device, including a mobile phone brought into the room;
  • internet sources;
  • photographing, filming, screenshots;
  • leaving fullscreen mode;
  • copying and pasting text;
  • ignoring the invigilator;
  • deliberately harming other candidates.

Every violation is recorded in the exam protocol and, if needed, in a free-form act.

A candidate who has been removed may give an explanation only on the same day.

If you are late

A candidate who is no more than 20 minutes late may still log in and sit the exam. The time is not extended, and the lateness is recorded.

How to finish

  1. Press «Pateikti» («Submit»).
  2. Then press «Baigti darbą» («Finish the work»).

The buttons keep their Lithuanian names. Before you log out, tell the invigilator.

If the system freezes or the internet drops

  • The system stops responding. Press Ctrl and F5 together, or log out and log in again. After you log back in, the system keeps counting the task time, and the break is not counted in it.
  • You cannot log in. If a candidate cannot log in within 30 minutes, that candidate's exam is stopped and the reasons are recorded.
  • The internet drops. Everyone stays at their place. If the internet returns within 30 minutes, the exam continues and the extension is recorded. If it stays down for longer than 30 minutes, the senior invigilator may stop the exam.

What to do next

Prepare for the questions themselves: the format and topics are covered in Lithuanian Constitution Exam: Format, Pass Mark and Topics. Practise in Fluent's practice section and in the Constitution programme.
