SIRI’s official learning material is the main source for 35 of the 45 questions. The edition updated in August 2026 applies to the winter 2026 and summer 2027 tests.
The six chapters
- History of Denmark
- Danish democracy
- The Danish economy
- Denmark and the world
- Danish cultural life
- Theme topics
The material is available both as a written publication and audio files with the same content.
Turn the six chapters into a study schedule
Spread the chapters over several sessions instead of reading the full publication in one sitting. After each chapter, close the material and recall the main people, institutions, dates, concepts and relationships. Then use practice questions to reveal what did not stick.
Written material or audio?
The official material is available in written and audio form. They can reinforce one another: read a section, listen to it later during revision, then write the key points from memory. Audio is useful for repetition, but passive listening should not replace checking what you can actively recall.
When should practice tests enter the plan?
Use short topic sets after each chapter. Once all six chapters have been covered at least once, start mixing topics. Full 45-question mock exams are most useful after that point, when they measure retained knowledge and pacing rather than serving as the main way you first encounter facts.
The official material does not cover every question
Thirty-five questions are within its scope; five are current affairs and five concern Danish values. Your preparation therefore needs three tracks: core official study, regular news awareness and focused values practice. Citizenship Test Hub brings those tracks together while clearly labelling our questions as independent practice rather than official SIRI questions.
Separate stable knowledge from facts that can change
When the material mentions office-holders, statistics, political arrangements or other details that may change, mark them in your notes and check them against the current official edition. This helps you distinguish durable concepts that should be understood long term from time-sensitive details that deserve another verification close to your test date.
Make explanations part of your notes
Instead of writing only isolated dates or names, connect facts with short explanations: what happened, why it mattered, and which institution or period it belongs to. Connected knowledge is easier to retrieve when the test asks the same subject from a different angle than the sentence you originally studied.
