How to study them
Open Word sets, then Cyprus culture exam, and add the topics you need. All 13 are open from the start, the first three are free. The words go into a “Cyprus exam” deck and come back on a spaced-repetition schedule: hard ones more often, the ones you know every few weeks. Every word has audio, and you can type words in Latin letters.
The set is vocabulary, not the exam questions themselves. Check the current requirements for naturalisation with the Civil Registry and Migration Department.
