What Medborgarskapsprovet asks of you

What UHR has not published yet

  • The pass mark. UHR sets it from the results after a sitting, not in advance.
  • The number of questions and the time limit for the next sitting.
  • The date of the next sitting. UHR says it will be announced during the autumn.
Nothing on this page fills those gaps in. When the authority publishes, this page changes; until then, a figure you find elsewhere for these is someone’s guess.

2,311 of them are Swedish, drilled chapter by chapter in the order the official material sets them, with a mistakes deck and spaced repetition. There is no timed mock and no pass line: UHR has published neither a length nor a pass mark, and we will not invent one.
