The Canadian citizenship test in Prince Edward Island

The short answer

The citizenship test is the same in Prince Edward Island as everywhere in Canada. It is one federal test: 20 questions, 15 correct to pass, all from the Discover Canada guide. There is no separate Prince Edward Island test.

You get 45 minutes for 20 multiple-choice questions and need 15 correct, a score of 75%, to pass.

The questions do not focus on any single region. They cover Canada as a whole. That said, it helps to be solid on the facts about your own province, since provincial and territorial facts do appear on the test.
