I just did the medborgarskapsprov yesterday, the questions were quiet easy for me but I prepared a lot and studied at least 40 hours for it. I mainly read the material on uhr.se and did all quiz on medborgaretest.se I really hope that we all will pass this because I don't want to do the next one which will cost 2 000kr for test fee and if failing in the future means restarting the medborgare process. I talked with the people doing the test, it was mixed feelings. But those that put the hours in also felt confident.

To be honest, all questions were easy, except maybe two or three questions that were very weird and even my Swedish friends felt they couldn't answer it.

Anyway, for everyone that did it yesterday, give yourself a high-five and have a nice trip home <3

I will take the Medborgarskapsprov / Swedish Civic Test in 15 aug. I'm doing my best to prep for it, by reading "Sverige i Fokus" by UHR and so far done over 600 quiz questions on medborgaretest.se and chatgpt.com but I feel like it will be hard to pass the test on the first try. There is no official info regarding retakes after 15 aug in case we fail it. It is pretty costly to go to Stockholm just for the test considering time, hotel and travel costs. I really hope they also allow us to do it in other cities, I live in Malmö.

My goal is to pass it on the first try. How are you guys preparing for it? Please share your best tips so we can help each other and pass it on the first try!

SWEDISH CIVIC TEST 15 AUG

Tahereh is one of a thousand who will take the first citizenship test

The 1,000 spots to sit the first civics test required to become a Swedish citizen are now fully booked.

On June 6, the requirements for becoming a Swedish citizen changed. It is now a requirement to be able to speak Swedish language and to have knowledge about Swedish society. You can therefore take a citizenship test to demonstrate your knowledge. If, for example, you have studied civics and Swedish at Komvux (municipal adult education) or SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) and received grades, you do not need to take the citizenship test.

One of those who will sit the civics test is Tahereh Taqadussi. She says she is nervous, and that the Swedish language — and knowing everything about Sweden — isn't easy.

"What if I don't pass this test? It's not easy to know everything about Sweden. And it's not easy with the language either."

Tahereh Taqadussi works as a kitchen assistant in Karlstad. She is from Afghanistan and has been in Sweden for ten years. Two years ago she applied for Swedish citizenship. She will study during her holiday to prepare for the test.

The Swedish-language test has been postponed and will not be held this year. But the first civics test will take place on August 15. 1,000 people will take the test then. The questions will cover, for example, Sweden's geography, history, politics, media, and gender equality.

It is still unclear what is required to pass, and how many times someone who fails will be allowed to retake the test.

Andreas Sandberg is responsible for the citizenship test at the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR). The goal is for the tests to be available in other parts of the country as well, but there wasn't time to arrange that this year, he says.

"The idea is for the testing operation to expand to other parts of the country too. We were very short on time to get everything in place. This year we had to make some choices."

Seriously there are thousands of nouns out there, is this just pure memorization or is there a trick? I'm worried this will be asked on medborgarskapsprov / swedish civic test. I usually check on svenska.se for the definitive form and study for the medborgarskapsprov on medborgaretest.se but it will take me years to master all the nouns and its definitive form! There must be some trick or rule, please share!
