1Teksten handler primært om... / (The text is primarily about...) [Context: A newspaper article states: 'Regeringen ønsker at øge investeringerne i vedvarende energi for at imødegå klimaforandringerne og reducere Danmarks afhængighed af fossile brændstoffer.'] Hvad er artiklens primære emne? / What is the article's primary topic?

A.Øget investering i vedvarende energi og klimamål (Increased investment in renewable energy and climate goals)

B.Reduktion af Danmarks olieforbrug til privatkørslen (Reduction of Denmark's oil use for private driving)

C.Ny lovgivning om atomkraft i Danmark (New legislation on nuclear power in Denmark)

D.Internationale aftaler om CO2-kvoter (International agreements on CO2 quotas)

Explanation: The passage explicitly states the government wants to increase investments in renewable energy to address climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. This makes renewable energy investment the primary topic. The other options introduce specifics not mentioned in the passage.

2Hvad er meningen med udtrykket 'at sætte dagsordenen'? / (What does the expression 'at sætte dagsordenen' mean?) [Context: 'De store medier sætter dagsordenen i den politiske debat i Danmark.']

A.At bestemme, hvilke emner der diskuteres (To determine which topics are discussed)

B.At skrive referater af politiske møder (To write minutes of political meetings)

C.At planlægge mødekalenderen for Folketing (To schedule the parliamentary calendar)

D.At udgive den officielle politiske tidsplan (To publish the official political timetable)

Explanation: 'At sætte dagsordenen' (to set the agenda) is a fixed expression meaning to determine which issues receive public attention or are discussed. In the context of media influence on political debate, it means the large media organisations decide which topics dominate discussion.

3Vælg den sætning, der bedst opsummerer tekstens centrale argument. / (Choose the sentence that best summarises the text's central argument.) [Text excerpt: 'Selvom mange danskere støtter integrationen af flygtninge, er der stor uenighed om, hvilke krav der bør stilles til de nyankomne. Nogle mener, at kravene allerede er for høje, mens andre argumenterer for, at de er nødvendige for at sikre en vellykket integration.']

A.Der er delte meninger om, hvilke integrationskrav der er rimelige (There are divided opinions on which integration requirements are reasonable)

B.De fleste danskere modstår integrationen af flygtninge (Most Danes resist the integration of refugees)

C.Integrationskrav er allerede for lave ifølge eksperter (Integration requirements are already too low according to experts)

D.Regeringen har netop sænket integrationskravene (The government has just lowered integration requirements)

Explanation: The text describes disagreement about integration requirements - some find them too high, others necessary. The central argument is that there is division of opinion on what requirements are appropriate, which option A captures precisely.

4Hvilket ord kan erstatte 'imidlertid' i sætningen? / (Which word can replace 'imidlertid' in the sentence?) ['Projektet var ambitiøst; imidlertid manglede finansieringen.' / 'The project was ambitious; however, funding was lacking.']

A.dog (however/yet)

B.derfor (therefore)

C.desuden (furthermore)

D.dermed (thereby)

Explanation: 'Imidlertid' is a formal adversative connector meaning 'however' or 'nevertheless', signalling a contrast. 'Dog' is its closest synonym, also expressing contrast or concession. 'Derfor' (therefore) expresses result; 'desuden' (furthermore) adds information; 'dermed' (thereby) expresses means.

5Læs følgende tekststykke og svar: Hvad er forfatterens holdning? / (Read the following passage and answer: What is the author's attitude?) ['Det er ganske vist, at teknologien har gjort hverdagen nemmere for mange. Ikke desto mindre bør vi stille os kritiske over for den totale afhængighed af digitale løsninger.']

A.Forfatteren anerkender teknologiens fordele men advarer mod overdreven afhængighed (The author acknowledges technology's benefits but warns against excessive dependence)

B.Forfatteren er fuldt ud positiv over for teknologisk udvikling (The author is wholly positive about technological development)

C.Forfatteren mener, at teknologi er skadelig og bør begrænses (The author believes technology is harmful and should be limited)

D.Forfatteren er neutral og præsenterer kun fakta (The author is neutral and presents only facts)

Explanation: 'Ganske vist' (admittedly/it is true that) acknowledges the benefit; 'Ikke desto mindre' (nevertheless) introduces the warning. The structure grants technology's advantage while calling for critical distance from total dependence - a balanced but cautionary stance.

6Tekst 2B opgave: Hvilket tekstfragment passer bedst i hullet? / (Text insertion task: Which text fragment fits best in the gap?) [Gap sentence: 'Danskernes tillid til sundhedsvæsenet er generelt høj, _______. Eksperter peger dog på, at ventetider stadig er et problem.'] Fragment options are presented. Choose: ___

A.selv om ressourcerne er begrænsede (even though resources are limited)

B.fordi sundhedsvæsenet er gratis (because healthcare is free)

C.da patienterne altid er tilfredse (since patients are always satisfied)

D.idet lægerne tjener meget (given that doctors earn a lot)

Explanation: The sentence structure requires a concessive clause because the second sentence introduces a problem (waiting times) that contrasts with high trust. 'Selv om ressourcerne er begrænsede' (even though resources are limited) provides the necessary concession that sets up the contrast with the following expert concern.

7Del 3 opgave: Hvilket ord passer bedst i hullet? / (Part 3 gap-fill: Which word fits best in the gap?) ['Kommunen har besluttet at _______ en ny cykelsti langs havnen for at fremme bæredygtig transport.']

A.anlægge (construct/establish)

B.ophæve (abolish/cancel)

C.forkorte (shorten)

D.omgå (circumvent)

Explanation: 'Anlægge' means to lay out, construct, or establish infrastructure. It collocates naturally with cykelsti (cycle path), vej (road), havn (harbour), and park. The context (a new path to promote sustainable transport) requires a creation/construction verb.

8Hvad er den mest sandsynlige konklusion af artiklen? / (What is the most likely conclusion of the article?) [Text: 'Forskningen viser, at motion og kost har stor indvirkning på mental sundhed. Alligevel investerer det offentlige langt mere i medicinsk behandling end i forebyggelse.']

A.Det offentlige bør investere mere i forebyggelse af mental sygdom (The public sector should invest more in mental health prevention)

B.Motion og kost er vigtigere end medicin for alle sygdomme (Exercise and diet are more important than medicine for all diseases)

C.Psykiatriske hospitaler bør lukkes til fordel for fitnesscentre (Psychiatric hospitals should close in favour of gyms)

D.Forskning i mental sundhed er spild af penge (Research into mental health is a waste of money)

Explanation: The text contrasts the evidence for prevention (exercise, diet) with public spending patterns that favour treatment. The implied conclusion is that public investment should shift toward prevention. This is a classic argumentative text structure at B2 level.

9Hvad er forskellen på 'at håbe på' og 'at håbe, at'? / (What is the difference between 'at håbe på' and 'at håbe, at'?) Vælg det korrekte eksempel. / Choose the correct example.

A.'Jeg håber på bedre vejr' betyder, at man ønsker bedre vejr / 'Jeg håber på bedre vejr' means one wishes for better weather

B.'Jeg håber, at det regner' og 'Jeg håber på regn' har forskellig grammatisk struktur men betyder det modsatte / '...regner' and '...på regn' have different structure but mean the opposite

C.'At håbe på' bruges kun i negationer / 'At håbe på' is used only in negations

D.'Håbe på' kræver altid et navneord som objekt og er formel stil / 'Håbe på' always requires a noun object and is formal style only

Explanation: 'Håbe på + noun' expresses hoping for something (a wish directed at a thing or outcome): 'håbe på bedre vejr'. Both 'håbe på + noun' and 'håbe, at + clause' express the same wish but with different grammatical objects. Neither is restricted to negation or formal register exclusively.

10Find det ord, der IKKE passer i rækken af synonymer for 'at undersøge'. / (Find the word that does NOT belong in the list of synonyms for 'to investigate/examine'.)

A.at udelukke (to exclude)

B.at granske (to scrutinise)

C.at analysere (to analyse)

D.at kortlægge (to map out/survey)

Explanation: 'At udelukke' means to exclude or rule out - it is the action of removing a possibility, not of examining something. 'Granske', 'analysere', and 'kortlægge' all involve careful investigation or study and belong to the semantic field of 'at undersøge'.

Prøve i Dansk 3 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Download official PD3 sample materials from danskogproever.dk - the sample exam sets the exact text complexity, task formats, and vocabulary register you will face. Doing two or three sample sets under timed conditions is the most effective preparation.

2Master the s-passive and blive-passive: both appear heavily in newspaper and opinion texts at B2. Know the difference: s-passive (huset bygges) expresses a general/habitual action; blive-passive (huset bliver bygget) emphasises a specific process or event in progress.

3Study connectors systematically: selvom/skønt (concession), eftersom/da (cause), mens (contrast/time), idet (simultaneous cause), således at/så at (result), forudsat at (condition). These connect clauses in every B2 reading text and are tested in gap-fill tasks.

4For Part 1 (scanning), practise reading Danish newspaper headlines and lead paragraphs quickly - the task rewards finding specific factual information fast, not deep comprehension. Set a 90-second timer per question.

5Build B2 vocabulary in societal domains: integration, velfaerdssamfund, arbejdsmarked, klima, ligestilling, demokrati, sundheds-vaesen. Opinion articles on these themes form the core of PD3 reading and listening texts.

6For the oral presentation, use a clear structure: introduce your topic in the first 20 seconds, develop two or three points with examples, and close with a personal reflection. Practise aloud daily from the topic you receive - fluency at B2 requires automaticity, not just accuracy.
