The citizenship test is in Swedish. So is the only book it comes from.

Medborgarskapsprovet is written in Swedish, taken on paper, and made of multiple-choice questions with four options (UHR, 17 August 2026). This page keeps three things apart: what UHR has settled, what it has not decided yet, and what we can practise with you in the meantime.

Read this first

Practice written for this app. It is not a UHR test, it contains no question from the real test and no text from Sverige i fokus, and it is not affiliated with UHR, Skolverket or Migrationsverket. Your score here is practice, not a result: UHR has not published a pass mark. Nothing on this page decides an individual case, which only Migrationsverket does.

First, one question: has Migrationsverket written to you?

Nobody signs up for this test on their own. UHR states that Migrationsverket decides who may take it, and that the result goes back to Migrationsverket afterwards (UHR, questions and answers, 26 August 2026). Your answer to that question changes what is worth doing today.

Yes, the letter has come. You have a sitting to work towards, so the reading is the work: the fourteen chapters, then questions on the chapters you have read.

No letter yet. You cannot register, and no site can register you. What you can do is the part that takes months rather than weeks: the Swedish the book is written in.

What is settled, with the source and its date

Every claim carries the source behind it and the date that source was published or last updated.

UHR writes and runs the test

Universitets- och högskolerådet develops, administers and marks the test, with Skolverket and Migrationsverket assisting on specific parts. The study material was produced by UHR with Skolverket on a government commission.

On paper, in Swedish, multiple choice

UHR states that the test is in Swedish, written on paper, and made of multiple-choice questions with four options of which one is correct. The material and the test are in Swedish only.

Migrationsverket decides who may sit it

You cannot simply register. UHR states that Migrationsverket decides who may take the test, and the result is then passed to Migrationsverket. If no letter has reached you, preparing is still useful, but signing up is not yet possible.

The Swedish language test comes later

The civics test applies from 6 June 2026. The reading and listening test in Swedish is expected from 1 October 2027, or earlier if the government decides and the authorities can deliver it. The speaking and writing test has no date at all: the law says it starts on a day the government decides.

What nobody knows yet

These circulate everywhere with invented figures. Until UHR publishes them, this page does not state them.

  • The pass mark. UHR has not set one: the August 2026 sitting was used to calibrate it.
  • How long a sitting lasts, and how many questions it has. Sixty questions is sourced for 15 August 2026 and for that sitting only. The ninety-minute figure circulating on commercial sites is confirmed by no official source we found.
  • The dates and cities of the next sittings. UHR said it would announce them in the autumn of 2026.
  • The fee for sittings before 2027. The regulation sets 2 000 kronor per sitting from 2027, with an exemption for stateless people holding refugee status or a travel document issued by a Swedish authority. The August 2026 sitting was free.

What you get here

  • Practice questions asked in Swedish, as the test asks them, with the question also given in your language so a wrong answer is a gap in knowledge and not a gap in reading.
  • Every question names its chapter and the public source its fact comes from. A question that cannot name a source does not ship.
  • The fourteen chapters, each opening with four notions in your language and the Swedish words the chapter cannot be read without.
  • The official material linked, not copied. Sverige i fokus is free from UHR as a printable PDF and as audio, one file per chapter (UHR, 12 August 2026), and the five example questions UHR publishes stay on UHR's own page.

There is no score to reach here, and no simulated result. UHR has not published a pass mark, so this page shows none.

Who this is not for

  • Anyone looking for the real questions. None are here. UHR publishes five examples and we link to them rather than copy them.
  • Anyone who wants to be told they will pass. Nobody can say that: there is no published pass mark, and Migrationsverket alone decides an individual case.
  • People the knowledge requirement does not reach. It applies from 16 years old and up to, but not including, 67, and the age that counts is the age when the case is examined, not when it was filed (Prop. 2025/26:175).
  • People who can already prove the civics another way. A passing grade in samhällskunskap or in basic social orientation, from grundskola, gymnasieskola or komvux among others, is one of the routes the law keeps open (Prop. 2025/26:175). Migrationsverket judges that, not us.
  • Anyone who needs advice on their own file. We have none to give. That is Migrationsverket's work, and a lawyer's.

Questions people ask about the test

Can I register for the citizenship test myself?
No. UHR states that Migrationsverket decides who may take the test, and the result is passed back to Migrationsverket afterwards (UHR, questions and answers, 26 August 2026). Without a letter from Migrationsverket, preparing is possible but registering is not.
What is the pass mark for medborgarskapsprovet?
There is no published pass mark. UHR used the sitting of 15 August 2026 to calibrate the test and said the results would be published later in the autumn (SVT Nyheter, 15 August 2026). Any site stating a figure today is stating something UHR has not.
How long does the test last, and how many questions does it have?
The sitting of 15 August 2026 had 60 questions, and that figure is sourced for that sitting only (SVT Nyheter, 15 August 2026). The length of a sitting has not been published. The ninety-minute figure circulating on commercial sites is confirmed by no official source we found.
When is the next sitting, and where?
Not published. UHR said it would announce the dates and the cities in the autumn of 2026. We will not guess at them here, because a wrong date on this subject is read by somebody whose citizenship file depends on it.
What does the test cost?
The regulation sets 2 000 kronor per sitting from 2027, with an exemption for stateless people holding refugee status or a travel document issued by a Swedish authority. The sitting of 15 August 2026 was free, and nothing has been published for sittings before 2027.
Can I take the test in English, or in my own language?
No. UHR states that the test is in Swedish, written on paper, with multiple-choice questions of four options of which one is correct, and that the material and the test are in Swedish only (UHR, 17 August 2026).
Is the Swedish language test in force as well?
Not yet. The civics test applies from 6 June 2026. The reading and listening test in Swedish is expected from 1 October 2027, or earlier if the government decides and the authorities can deliver it, and the speaking and writing test has no date at all: the law says it starts on a day the government decides (Prop. 2025/26:175).
Are these the real questions from the test?
No. Every question here was written for this app from a public source that is named on the question itself, and no text from Sverige i fokus is reproduced. The five example questions UHR publishes are linked rather than copied.
My Swedish is not good enough to read the book. What then?
That is the usual situation, and it is the part a translated quiz cannot fix. The book is in Swedish, the test is in Swedish, and reading is what takes months. The course this app is built around starts at zero and runs to B1, which is why the citizenship section sits next to it rather than inside it.
