Sample questions from the norwegian test
Real items from the test bank — one per level band. The full test adapts from A1 to C1.
Vi har nettopp kjøpt ___ nytt hus utenfor byen.
- 1en
- 2ei
- 3et
- 4den
Show answer
Correct: et
"Hus" is an et-word (neuter), so the indefinite article is "et": "et nytt hus". "En" and "ei" are common/feminine; "den" is a definite determiner, not an indefinite article.
Hun ___ og leser avisa i sofaen akkurat nå. (sitte, presens — pågående handling)
- 1satt
- 2sitter
- 3setter
- 4sittende
Show answer
Correct: sitter
Norwegian expresses an ongoing action with a posture verb + "og" + finite verb: "hun sitter og leser". The present of "sitte" is "sitter"; "satt" is the preterite and "setter" is a different verb (to put). Decided by the ending -er and the consonant t, not by any å/a.
Hadde jeg visst det i tide, ___ jeg aldri ha takket ja til tilbudet. (ville → irrealis, hjelpeverb)
- 1vil
- 2hadde
- 3kunne
- 4ville
Show answer
Correct: ville
The inverted counterfactual "Hadde jeg visst ..." pairs with a "ville ha" + participle main clause: "ville jeg aldri ha takket ja". "Vil" cannot mark the irrealis, and "hadde" would duplicate the auxiliary already carried by the fronted clause. Decided by v-i-l-l-e, no å.

Methodology
This Norwegian grammar test contains 50 items (10 at A1, 10 at A2, 10 at B1, 10 at B2, 10 at C1), ordered from A1 to C1 and drawn from the same item bank used inside the Lenguia study-plan product.
Scoring uses a pass-threshold model: each CEFR level is "passed" when you earn roughly two-thirds of its available points, and your result is the highest level you pass consecutively starting from A1. This rewards consistent competence rather than lucky guesses. Results range from A1 to C1 (the test does not grade C2).
The items are informed by the competency descriptors of the Council of Europe CEFR framework. This is a free self-assessment: results are a reliable orientation, not a certified proficiency measurement.
The competency descriptors follow the Council of Europe CEFR framework.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this Norwegian grammar test?
It uses the same item bank and pass-threshold scoring as the placement engine inside Lenguia's study-plan product, so the CEFR estimate is consistent and repeatable. Like any online self-assessment it is an orientation, not an official certificate.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes — the full test, the result and the shareable certificate are free, with no signup. If you create an account afterwards, your result can be used to build a personalized study plan.
What levels can I get?
A1, A2, B1, B2 or C1. A level counts as reached when you earn roughly two-thirds of its points and have passed every level below it. C2 is not graded.
Can I retake the test?
Yes, as often as you like. Questions within each level are shuffled, and your latest result replaces the previous one on this device.
