Medborgarskapsprovet — the Swedish citizenship test

Why the test exists

The test was introduced as part of a broader reform of the requirements for Swedish citizenship. The purpose is that people who become Swedish citizens should have a basic understanding of how Swedish society works — democracy, rights and obligations, and the institutions that affect daily life.

The known format

• 60 multiple-choice questions, four alternatives, one correct answer.
• 90 minutes of writing time.
• No negative marking for wrong answers.
• Questions are written in Swedish; the test is taken on paper at a test centre.
• Difficulty is roughly at the level of Swedish compulsory school year 9.

The pass threshold is decided by the organiser and should not be treated as confirmed until UHR publishes it. Always check the official pages before booking.

How to prepare

Read the official study material, then test yourself under realistic conditions. Most people fail practice tests not because the facts are hard, but because 90 seconds per question in Swedish is faster than it sounds. Work topic by topic, then rehearse with a full 60-question mock test.

What svenskpass provides

svenskpass is an independent preparation platform. We provide practice questions written in the style of the official test, full 60-question mock exams with a 90-minute timer, topic-based training, explanations in Swedish, and progress tracking that shows your weakest topics.
