What do you need to know for the citizenship test?
You need basic knowledge of Swedish society: how the country is governed, which laws and rights apply, how welfare and the labor market work, and Sweden's history and geography.
The content is based on what is included in societal orientation (samhällsorientering) and the official educational material. On Medborgarkoll we have divided it into topics you can study one at a time.
- Sweden's history
- Democracy and politics
- Laws, rights, and obligations
- The Swedish welfare society
- The labor market and personal finance
- Sweden's geography
- Sweden and the world
- Media and information
- Religion and worldviews
- Traditions and culture
You don't need to know everything by heart. What matters is understanding how things fit together: who decides what, where to turn, and what rights and obligations you have.
