UHR's example questions for the citizenship test

UHR has published five example questions on their website to show how questions on the citizenship test may be formatted — the same format as the real test: four answer options, one correct. Here are all five, verbatim from UHR (translated from Swedish for this post; the official test itself is Swedish-only).

What these five questions show

Even with just five examples, the range is clear: public administration, government structure, economy and geography, history, and basic rights. That covers several of the 13 subject areas Medborgarplugg practices — so whether these five felt easy or hard, the app is a good way to see where you actually stand across the full range of topics.
