Norskpenn

Writing practice tasks

These are all the tasks in Norskpenn. We wrote them in the style of the test, with the same task types and recommended length. The tasks are in Norwegian, as on the test. Pick one and start writing. The picture description (task 1 on A2–B1) isn’t here yet.

Practise against the clock: 90 minutes for all three tasks on A2–B1, 120 minutes for both on B1–B2. Don’t memorise answers. HK-dir counts memorised text as cheating, and the test has new tasks. Not sure which level to choose?

B1–B2, task 1: an email giving and justifying an opinion

About 80 words or more.

B1–B2, task 2: an argumentative text

About 250–350 words. On the test you choose one of two tasks.

A2–B1, task 2: write about a familiar topic

About 80–200 words.

A2–B1, task 3: an email giving and justifying an opinion

About 80 words or more.

Task types and lengths: HK-dir, about the writing test. HK-dir also has its own example tasks (both in Norwegian).

When you’ve finished, you’ll see the level for each criterion, corrections in your text and the three changes that would raise your level most. See an example grading.
