A look inside

10 free practice questions

A selection from the app. The questions are in Norwegian, as in the exam; tap a question for the answer and an English explanation.

1. Hva er formålet med alkoholloven?
What is the purpose of the Alcohol Act?
  1. Å begrense skadene alkoholbruk kan føre til
    To limit the harm that alcohol use can cause
  2. Å sikre staten størst mulig inntekter fra alkoholavgifter
    To secure the greatest possible revenue for the state from alcohol duties
  3. Å gi alle voksne lik og enkel tilgang til alkohol
    To give all adults equal and easy access to alcohol

Correct answer: Å begrense skadene alkoholbruk kan føre til

Under § 1-1 of the Alcohol Act, the aim is to limit as far as possible the social and individual harm that alcohol use can cause. As part of this, the Act aims to limit consumption. The purpose is therefore not to raise revenue or to make alcohol easily available.

2. Hva menes med «alkoholholdig drikk» i alkoholloven?
What does "alcoholic drink" (alkoholholdig drikk) mean in the Alcohol Act?
  1. Drikk med mer enn 0,7 volumprosent alkohol
    A drink with more than 0.7 % alcohol by volume
  2. Drikk med mer enn 2,5 volumprosent alkohol
    A drink with more than 2.5 % alcohol by volume
  3. Drikk med mer enn 4,7 volumprosent alkohol
    A drink with more than 4.7 % alcohol by volume

Correct answer: Drikk med mer enn 2,5 volumprosent alkohol

Under § 1-3 first paragraph of the Alcohol Act, "alcoholic drink" is the collective term for drinks with more than 2.5 % alcohol by volume. The 0.7 limit concerns low-alcohol drinks, which are only covered by the age limits in § 1-5. The 4.7 limit separates group 1 from group 2.

3. Hva er forskjellen på salg og skjenking etter alkoholloven?
What is the difference between sale (salg) and serving (skjenking) under the Alcohol Act?
  1. Ved salg drikkes det utenfor salgsstedet, ved skjenking på stedet
    With sale the drinking is away from the point of sale, with serving on the premises
  2. Salg gjelder drikk i gruppe 1, skjenking gjelder drikk i gruppe 2 og 3
    Sale covers group 1 drinks, serving covers group 2 and 3 drinks
  3. Salg skjer mot betaling, skjenking skjer uten betaling
    Sale is against payment, serving is without payment

Correct answer: Ved salg drikkes det utenfor salgsstedet, ved skjenking på stedet

Under § 1-4 of the Alcohol Act, sale is handing over to a consumer against payment for drinking away from the point of sale, while serving is sale for drinking on the premises. Both are against payment, and the difference has nothing to do with the alcohol groups.

Frequently asked questions

Are these the real exam questions?

No. The official question bank is not public. Every question in the app was written from the law texts on Lovdata and Helsedirektoratet's commentary, and every answer shows the section it is based on.

Which exams does the app cover?

Kunnskapsprøven i alkoholloven for the serving licence, the retail licence and inspectors, and the etablererprøve for the general manager of a restaurant, café, bar or takeaway.

Can I take the exam in English?

No – both exams are only in Norwegian. At kunnskapsprøven a bilingual dictionary is allowed; at the etablererprøve only the law collection (Norges lover). That is why the app keeps questions in Norwegian and adds English help.

Can I use the app during the exam?

No. The app is for preparing.

Does the app guarantee a pass?

No. It helps you practise, but nobody can guarantee the result. For the current exam rules, contact your municipality.

How current are the laws?

The law texts come from Lovdata; the date is shown in the app under Settings. When the law changes, the questions are updated in a new version.
