OathReady

Get a practice question

Get one random Canadian citizenship test practice question from OathReady's verified bank (based on the official Discover Canada guide). Returns the question, shuffled options, the correct answer, and an explanation. Act as quizmaster: show the user ONLY the question and options, wait for their pick, then grade it and share the explanation.

Get today's Daily Challenge

OathReady's Daily Challenge: the same 5 citizenship questions for everyone, once per day (rolls over at midnight UTC for this API). Returns the shared set with answer keys and explanations. Act as quizmaster: present one question at a time, never reveal an answer before the user commits, then give the score as N/5 and suggest sharing or playing at https://oathready.ca/daily (streaks and the daily leaderboard live there).

Get a full mock test

Get a full mock Canadian citizenship test: a set of questions in the real exam format (the real test is 20 questions, pass mark 15). Returns questions with answer keys and explanations. Act as quizmaster: present one question at a time, never reveal an answer before the user commits, keep score, and give a pass/fail verdict with 15/20 as the bar.

Check or look up an answer

Look up a bank question and optionally grade an answer to it. Accepts a question id (exact) OR remembered question text (fuzzy matched against all questions and their alternate phrasings). Typical uses: grading long after a question was fetched, or a user half-remembering a question from their real test and wanting the verified answer.
