Compare Ways to Prepare for the Swedish Citizenship Test

Official material from UHR

UHR's (the Swedish Council for Higher Education) educational material 'Sverige i fokus' (Sweden in Focus) is free and forms the basis for the test. It's a good starting point because its content is what the test is based on.

The disadvantage is that it's a textbook, not a practice platform. You don't get feedback on your answers or statistics on your progress.

Books and PDF summaries

Printed books and downloadable summaries suit those who prefer to read offline or make notes in the margins.

The limitation is that the content is rarely updated when rules change, and you have to keep track of your own progress.

Study circles and courses

Study associations and some folk high schools offer courses on Swedish society. This suits those who learn best with others and want a teacher.

However, it requires you to follow fixed schedules and for a course to be available in your municipality.

Digital practice services

Online practice – like Medborgarprovet.com – suits those who want to study at their own pace, get instant feedback, and see their progress over time.

You can combine digital practice with UHR's material to cover both knowledge acquisition and test training.

What suits you?

Do you have plenty of time and prefer to read? Start with UHR's material and supplement with practice tests towards the end.

Do you have limited time or want structure? A digital platform with a dashboard and module training provides a quicker overview.

Do you learn best with others? Combine a study circle with online exercises to test your knowledge.
