Booking statsborgerprøven: your municipality sets the date and the price

There are no national test dates and no national price. Both are set locally, the price ranges from 300 to 1,800 kroner, and your booking is binding the moment you make it.

How it works

The booking is binding

If you register, you pay, whether or not you sit the test. HK-dir states this plainly. The one exception it names is a sick note: with a sykemelding you can take the test another time. To withdraw at all you contact your test centre, not HK-dir.

Why the price varies so much

Because the municipalities run the test rather than the directorate, and they set their own fees. A six-fold spread between the cheapest and the most expensive is a lot of money for the same paper, and the portal is where the real figure for your centre appears.

It is worth checking neighbouring municipalities if the difference matters to you, though the practical constraint is usually which centre has a date at all.

What HK-dir gives you to prepare with

Two free things. Samfunnskunnskap.no is the official learning resource, written by HK-dir, covering education and working life, family, health and everyday life, and Norway past and present. There is also an official eksempelprøve, an example test, which HK-dir is careful to say is not the paper you will sit but does show you how the questions look and how you answer them on the computer.

That was ten. There are 3,000+ more.

785 of them are Norwegian, drilled chapter by chapter in the order the official material sets them, with a mistakes deck, spaced repetition and full mocks under the real clock.

Written by Belong Nordic from the authority’s own study material — they are not HK-dir’s questions, and the real sitting uses its own.
