Norwegian language test A1-B2
Practice for the test
The Norwegian language test does not measure your knowledge, just language.There is no curriculum for the Norwegian language test. The test measures what skill level your Norwegian is on. You practice for the test by practicing Norwegian language. You can also use the sample tasks to prepare.
The best way to improve your language skills, is to use the language.
You should not spend time memorizing texts. The test measures independent linguistic understanding and use, so memorised texts are not very useful.
You shold also familiarize yourself with the content of the test. Read about the test, the test structure and task types and practice on sample tasks provided for each of the four test parts.
The sample tasks contain all the different task types for each test part.
When you practice doing the sample tasks, you learn how the test and tasks are structured and function for when you take the Norwegian language test.
These are only examples. You will not get these tasks on the day of the test, but you will get similar tasks.
The listening test
The listening test is based on conversations and messages, because it is important that you can manage your daily life outside the classroom.
The texts are short and without background noise. There are never more than two voices in each task.
The texts you will listen to are suited for your skill level.
The reading test
The texts in the reading test are short and adapted to your skill level.
The writing test

The oral test

You will be told to tell about yourself when you do the test.
