The Bergenstest (also Test of Norwegian as a second language) is the exam that is required for anyone wishing to study in a university or college in Norway. It is also necessary for some professionals (eg. working within the healthcare and education) as a proof of knowledge of the Norwegian language.

The examination is conducted three times a year at various locations in Norway from the Folkeuniversitetet. The exam can be also taken abroad. Registration is done over the Internet.

The exam consists of two parts: written (Written test) and oral (Oral test). These two parts are independent of each other, and they are performed on different days and checked independently.
