How the test is taken

The test is a multiple-choice test. It is taken electronically, in Finnish or Swedish. Migri organises the tests in seven places around Finland from spring 2027.

Who writes the questions

The University of Helsinki prepares the test content and the study material. A team of experts from several fields does the work. A steering group of senior researchers supports them.
