What is the citizenship test 2026?
Under Sweden's new citizenship rules, a civics citizenship test (medborgarskapsprov) is being introduced. It tests basic knowledge of how Sweden is governed, democracy, history, working life, welfare and your rights and obligations. The test is developed by the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR), while the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket) handles the citizenship application itself.
The test is based on the official study material Sverige i fokus, which is freely available and covers 13 topic areas β from democracy and law and order to the labour market, welfare, history and human rights. The test is written in Swedish.
How the test works
Around 60,000β90,000 people are granted Swedish citizenship each year. Preparing early β in a language you understand β is the surest way to pass on your first try.

What other apps don't do

Question in Swedish, explanation in your language
Arabic and Persian are shown right-to-left (RTL). Pick your language inside the trainer.
We don't make up numbers
Sweden's test is held for the first time in August 2026, so there is no pass rate yet. Instead we show the Danish sister test's real figures as a reference β and update openly once Swedish data exists.
No app can guarantee that you'll pass. Anyone who promises that is lying. We give you the best training there is β and tell it like it is.
Study smart β not long
A little every day
15 minutes daily beats long marathons. Consistency sticks.
Practice on the clock early
Get used to the 90-minute limit long before test day.
Read the Swedish first
Use the translation to confirm β not replace. The test is in Swedish.
Review your mistakes
Most points hide in what you already got wrong. Go back.
Chase weak topics
The stats show where you lose points. Spend time there.
One price. Everything included.
Retaking the test costs a lot more. Training is the cheap insurance β built for people whose first language isn't Swedish.
