1What is the official minimum passing standard for male applicants in the bench press (benkpress) event during the Politihøgskolen physical admission tests?
A.4 repetitions with 60 kg
B.5 repetitions with 65 kg
C.1 repetition with 70 kg
D.4 repetitions with 55 kg
Explanation: According to Politihøgskolen's official physical-test guidelines, male candidates must successfully complete 4 repetitions with a total load of 60 kg. Both the bar and the weight plates count toward that total.
2What is the official minimum passing standard for female applicants in the bench press (benkpress) event at Politihøgskolen?
A.4 repetitions with 32.5 kg
B.4 repetitions with 30 kg
C.6 repetitions with 27.5 kg
D.2 repetitions with 35 kg
Explanation: For female applicants, the official Politihøgskolen standard in benkpress is exactly 4 repetitions with a total load of 32.5 kg. The official guideline counts the bar and weight plates in the total.
3During the benkpress event at Politihøgskolen, which technical execution rule is strictly enforced by the test examiners?
A.The buttocks must maintain continuous contact with the bench throughout the entire repetition
B.The barbell must be bounced vigorously off the ribcage to generate upward momentum
C.Candidates are permitted to lift their hips as long as their heels remain planted
D.Candidates are encouraged to complete as many repetitions beyond four as possible for extra bonus points
Explanation: Politihøgskolen's guideline requires the buttocks (setet) to remain in contact with the bench throughout the exercise. The bar must touch the chest and return to full elbow extension in a continuous, rhythmic movement at a moderate tempo; candidates may not perform more than four repetitions.
4How many attempts are applicants granted to pass the benkpress event during the physical admission test?
A.Exactly 1 attempt
B.2 attempts separated by a 10-minute rest period
C.3 attempts with progressive warm-up sets
D.Unlimited attempts within a 5-minute time window
Explanation: In Politihøgskolen's strength testing, candidates are granted only 1 official attempt to complete the required 4 repetitions. If a candidate fails on their single attempt, the physical examination is immediately failed and terminated.
5What is the official requirement for male applicants in the kroppshev (pull-ups) event at Politihøgskolen?
A.4 repetitions in vertical position (high bar) with chin clearing above the bar
B.6 repetitions in vertical position with chest-to-bar contact
C.4 repetitions in horizontal position (low bar) with heels on the floor
D.1 repetition in vertical position with a 10-second hold at the top
Explanation: Male candidates must perform 4 repetitions of kroppshev hanging vertically from a high bar (Alternativ 2 - loddrett posisjon). Each repetition must start from a dead hang with straight arms and finish with the chin clearly above the horizontal plane of the bar.
6Which choice of execution does Politihøgskolen provide to female applicants in the kroppshev event?
A.Either 4 repetitions in horizontal position (low bar) OR 1 repetition in vertical position (high bar)
B.Either 2 repetitions in vertical position OR 6 repetitions in horizontal position
C.Either 1 repetition in horizontal position OR 3 repetitions in vertical position
D.Female applicants must complete both horizontal and vertical variations
Explanation: Female applicants are given two options in kroppshev: Alternativ 1 is 4 repetitions in a horizontal position with the legs supported on a box, or Alternativ 2 is 1 repetition in a vertical position on the high bar. The applicant chooses one alternative before the event and may not try both.
7Which of the following faults will cause an examiner to disallow a repetition during vertical kroppshev?
A.Using a kicking motion with the legs (kipping) or swinging the body to generate upward momentum
B.Using the required overhand grip with the hands about shoulder-width apart
C.Exhaling audibly during the concentric pulling phase
D.Lowering until the elbows are fully extended before beginning the next pull
Explanation: Kicking or kipping with the legs is prohibited in the high-bar kroppshev. The official form uses an overhand grip about shoulder-width apart, brings the chin above the bar, and returns to full elbow extension before the next continuous, moderate-tempo pull.
8How many attempts does an applicant receive to pass the kroppshev event at Politihøgskolen?
A.1 attempt
B.2 attempts
C.3 attempts
D.2 attempts only if the applicant completed at least 3 repetitions on the first try
Explanation: Kroppshev allows only 1 attempt. If an applicant fails to achieve the minimum repetition count, the attempt cannot be repeated, resulting in an overall failure of the physical test battery.
9What is the structural course layout for the 6-minute kondisjonsløp (running endurance test) at Politihøgskolen?
A.A rectangular track measuring 44 meters per lap with two designated drop/obstacle stations
B.A standard 400-meter outdoor athletics track with no obstacles
C.A 20-meter shuttle run (beep test) between two parallel lines
D.A 1,000-meter straight cross-country trail over mixed terrain
Explanation: The Politihøgskolen kondisjonsløp uses a rectangular 44-meter circuit with two floor-contact stations per lap. The published guideline specifies the course shape and distance but does not make an indoor setting part of the rule.
10What specific body positions must candidates alternate between at the two obstacle stations during each lap of the kondisjonsløp?
A.Making the chest touch the surface at one station and the shoulder blades touch the surface at the other
B.Performing 5 push-ups at one station and 5 squats at the next
C.Jumping over a 1-meter vaulting box followed by crawling through a tunnel
D.Touching the ground with one hand while keeping both feet constantly moving
Explanation: The 44 m loop has two floor-contact stations: at one, the chest must touch the surface; at the other, the shoulder blades must touch the surface. The official rule is based on those specific contact points, not on completing a separate strength exercise.

About the Politihøgskolen opptaksprøve Exam

Politihøgskolen (Norwegian Police University College) conducts admission to the 3-year Bachelor i politiutdanning under regulation FOR-2017-08-29-1592, last amended by FOR-2024-12-04-2999. Applicants complete Aon-administered deductive and inductive reasoning tests, the untimed ADEPT-15 personality test, and a five-prompt asynchronous video interview before the physical-test stage. The physical test has six mandatory pass/fail events: kroppshev, bench press, a 6-minute obstacle run, underwater swimming, a 2.5 m dive, and a 100 m swim. After a physical pass, the admissions board assesses suitability across Åpenhet og inkludering, Samhandling, Modenhet, Handlekraft, Analytisk evne, and Integritet. OpenExamPrep provides an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation; it is not an official translation or format simulation and cannot replace physical conditioning, the personality inventory, recorded or live interview performance, or the board's suitability judgment.

Exam sponsor: Politihøgskolen (in cooperation with Aon Assessment for digital tests). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Applicants first complete three digital tests and a five-prompt asynchronous video interview. Invited applicants then take six physical events; after a physical pass, an admissions board reviews the digital results and video in the grunnvurdering, with a standardized extended Teams interview when the board remains unsure.

Time Limit

Approx. 90 min (digital tests & video interview) + physical test session (~45 min extended interview if called)

Passing Score

Pass/fail on all 6 physical events and suitability board assessment; no single numerical pass score (qualified candidates ranked by Samordna opptak competition points)

Exam / Certification Fees
