Is the A2 test harder than the B1 for citizenship?
The other way round: by community experience the free A2 test via a CPIA is easier, while the B1 for cittadinanza is harder because it tests reading, writing, listening and speaking. People usually prepare for the B1 separately. These are personal observations, not a guarantee.
