Are you preparing for the Norskprøven exam? Whether you’re applying for Norwegian citizenship, permanent residency, or simply want to advance your Norwegian language skills, passing this test is a key milestone.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to pass the Norskprøven exam with confidence—and how Strommen gives students an edge over generic tutoring platforms like Preply and iTalki.

What Is the Norskprøven?

The Norskprøven is the official Norwegian language proficiency test, managed by Kompetanse Norge and administered nationwide. It evaluates your skills in:

• Listening

• Reading

• Writing

• Speaking

The exam aligns with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), from A1 (beginner) to B2 (upper intermediate). Your results will reflect the highest level you demonstrate in each section.

Who Needs to Take the Norskprøven?

You’ll likely need to take the Norskprøven if you are:

• Applying for permanent residency in Norway (usually A2 level required)

• Applying for citizenship (typically B1 level)

• Working or studying in Norway and need to demonstrate B2-level proficiency

How to Pass the Norskprøven Exam

Here are five expert tips from Strommen’s professional Norwegian instructors:

1. Understand the Format

Knowing the test structure—timing, question types, and expectations—is key. We help you prepare with realistic Norskprøven-style practice tests in all four sections.

2. Practice Real Conversations

The speaking section often causes the most anxiety. We provide one-on-one coaching with native speakers to build your fluency and confidence.

3. Improve Your Writing

The writing section includes tasks like composing messages, descriptions, and opinion pieces. We provide detailed corrections to sharpen your writing for the B1/B2 level.

4. Learn to Think in Norwegian

The Norskprøven isn’t about memorization—it’s about real communication. Our tutors teach you how to understand nuance, tone, and cultural context.

5. Work with a Professional

Many students use platforms like iTalki or Preply, but the lack of structure and quality control can hold you back. Strommen offers certified tutors who specialize in Norskprøven prep.
