No, attending mock tests is not required for permanent residency (PR) eligibility in Germany.

You must pass the "Leben in Deutschland" (Life in Germany) test, which checks your knowledge of German society, law, and culture. Mock tests are optional but can help you prepare.

Key PR requirements include:
- 5 years continuous residence on a valid permit (typical)
- German language proficiency at B1 level
- Passing the "Leben in Deutschland" test

If you need help preparing for the test or have more questions about the PR process, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
