No. These are original practice questions on the same topics. The official catalogue of 310 questions is free on the BAMF website and in its Online-Testcenter, so study it as well.
What if I fail the Einbürgerungstest?
If you get fewer than 17 correct answers, you can take the test again. The BAMF gives you a certificate with your result to hand to the naturalisation office.

People with a German school-leaving certificate, and people who cannot meet the requirement because of illness, disability or age. Your naturalisation office decides.
