Exam Preparation

Prepare for Norskprøven

Norskprøven is the official Norwegian language exam — required for permanent residency and citizenship. Practice the vocabulary that actually appears on the test, organised by CEFR level.

Plus
📋 Who takes it

Required for permanent residency and Norwegian citizenship.

🎯 Target level

B1 oral and written for citizenship. A2 is the minimum for permanent residency.

📝 What it tests

Listening, reading, writing, and speaking — all in real-life everyday situations.

📅 When to register

Tests run throughout the year at Folkeuniversitetet and other approved test centres.

💡 Study tips for Norskprøven

  • Start with A2— even if you think you are at B1, gaps in A2 vocabulary will cost you points on the written test.
  • Use the rating buttons— rating cards as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy builds a personal schedule so you review difficult words more often.
  • Focus on health, work, and housing— these three topic areas appear in almost every Norskprøven oral scenario.
  • Check your progress — the My Progress page shows your CEFR estimate and which categories still need work.
