Study for Denmark’s citizenship test
Indfødsretsprøven is a written paper, not an interview. You get 45 questions and 45 minutes, no notes and no dictionary, and you have to answer at least 36 correctly. Four of the five questions on Danish values have to be right on their own, so a strong overall score does not save you if you drop those.

About the Indfødsretsprøven
Denmark does not publish a question pool, but it does publish something better: the real papers. After every sitting SIRI releases the paper that was sat and the answer key that marked it. The questions here are transcribed from four of them, in Danish, worded as they were asked.
The values section is the part worth watching. Five questions, at least four of them right, and no amount of margin elsewhere makes up for it. Topic practice keeps those five as their own section so you can drill them apart from the history and the geography.
Common questions
How many questions do you have to get right?
At least thirty six of the forty five. On top of that you have to answer at least four of the five questions on Danish values correctly, so those five carry a rule of their own. Both marks are printed on the answer key SIRI publishes after every sitting.
Is the test in Danish?
Yes, and only in Danish. No dictionary and no other aids are allowed in the room. The English shown here is a study aid, not something you will see on the day.
What are the questions drawn from?
Thirty five come from the læremateriale SIRI publishes, five are on current affairs from the months before the sitting, and five are on Danish values. The current-affairs five are left out of this practice, because the news they ask about will have moved on by your sitting.
How often is the test held?
Twice a year, in summer and in winter. SIRI publishes each paper and its answer key afterwards, which is where the questions here come from.
Are the questions multiple choice?
Yes. Each one gives you two or three answers to choose from, and you mark one. The full test here shows the same options for the same reason: picking the right one is the actual exam.
