Short sessions make it easier to get started and understand what you are learning.

1. Find the right exam
If you will be the general manager of a food service establishment, Etablererprøven (Restaurant operator exam) is relevant to you. If you will be the styrer or stedfortreder for alcohol service, Kunnskapsprøven (Alcohol law exam) is relevant to you. Some roles require both. Clarify the requirements with the municipality before choosing a course.
2. Study one topic at a time
Set aside a short study session that you have time to complete. Read about one topic and stop when you come across something you do not understand. Write down important terms and rules in your own words. You do not need to learn everything at once.
3. Practise and learn from the answers
Try questions on what you have just read. A wrong answer shows you what you can practise more. Read the explanation, revisit the topic and try again. Understanding why the answer is correct is more important than remembering the position of an answer option.
4. Test yourself before exam day
Once you have worked through the topics, you can take a timed practice exam. Review your mistakes afterwards and revisit anything you are unsure about. The result indicates what you know; it is not a guarantee that you will pass the official exam.
