Exam overview

Statsborgerprøven is the citizenship test of the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills (HK-dir). To apply for Norwegian citizenship you must pass statsborgerprøven, or take samfunnskunnskapsprøven (the social studies test) in Norwegian; both follow the same curriculum. The test is in Norwegian only, in bokmål or nynorsk, at language level A2: 36 tasks with three options and one correct answer, of which 32 give points, 24 correct answers to pass, and at most 60 minutes, taken on a computer at a test centre. The curriculum is the 57 lessons on samfunnskunnskap.no: new in Norway, history, geography and ways of living, democracy and the welfare state, working life, school and education, health, children and family, and the right to a free life. UDI decides the citizenship application itself.
