Danish exams — citizenship, residence, study & getting started
The Prøve i Dansk ladder (PD1–PD3 and Studieprøven), administered under the Ministry of Immigration and Integration, plus the two Danish society knowledge tests. Each language exam tests Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. Pick a level for an honest readiness estimate — never a fabricated official result.
Prøve i Dansk ladder
The core Danish-language exams. Prøve i Dansk 3 (B1–B2) is commonly required for Danish citizenship; Prøve i Dansk 2 (A2–B1) for permanent residence; Prøve i Dansk 1 (A1–A2) to get started; and Studieprøven (≈C1) for admission to Danish-taught university programmes. Confirm the current residency and citizenship rules with SIRI.

Danish society knowledge tests
Multiple-choice tests about Danish society, history and culture — not language proficiency. The Indfødsretsprøven is required for citizenship in addition to Prøve i Dansk 3; the Medborgerskabsprøven is used on the permanent-residence path. Our questions are original practice, not the official question bank.
