Can I Retake the Test?

However, you must pay the full fee (946 DKK) each time you take the test.

Planning Your Study Schedule

Knowing the test dates helps you plan your preparation:

For the June Test

• Start studying in March (3 months of preparation)
• Intensify in May (focus on weak areas and current events)
• Final week: Take practice tests under timed conditions

For the November Test

• Start studying in August/September (2-3 months)
• Intensify in October/November (practice tests and current events)

What If I Miss the Deadline?

If you miss the registration deadline, you cannot register late. You will have to wait for the next test session (approximately 6 months later).

Tip: Set a calendar reminder for when registration opens, and register as early as possible.
