Bergenstest
The Bergenstest, also known as Test i norsk - høyere nivå, is a test for proficiency in the Norwegian language, with variants available for both bokmål and nynorsk.[1] The test is nationally approved and is a pre-requisite for non-native speakers who wish to study at a tertiary education institute (college or universities) in Norway.[2] Citizens who have Swedish or Danish as their native language are not required to undertake this test as proof of Norwegian language competence. It is a pass/fail test with written and oral sections which are intended to be passed by someone with an advanced grasp of the language, equivalent to a B2/C1 reference level under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.[3][4][5]The test can be taken several times a year at various educational institutes around the country, and also twice a year abroad in April and October. Those who pass the test can be entitled to study at a Norwegian university in a degree taught in Norwegian language. It is furthermore the highest language test available for the concerned language.
