Danskuddannelse 2 (DU2) has six modules, and the first five end with a module test: modultest 2.1 to 2.5. Module 6 ends with the state exam Prøve i Dansk 2. This page explains what the numbers mean, the level of each module, how the DU2 tests differ from DU3, and how to practise. If you came here looking for Gyldendal’s practice site modultest.dk, it is a paid service from the publisher; this page is a free overview from a Danish teacher.
What is Danskuddannelse 2?
The free Danish education for adults (danskuddannelsen) has three tracks, and your language school places you on one of them when you start:
- Danskuddannelse 1 is for people with little or no schooling.
- Danskuddannelse 2 is for people with shorter schooling. It has six modules and ends with Prøve i Dansk 2.
- Danskuddannelse 3 is for people with a medium or long education, and moves faster.
DU2 covers the same topics as DU3, at a slower pace, so you get more time for each step.
What does “modultest 2.3” mean?
The number before the dot is the track, the number after the dot is the module. So modultest 2.3 is the module 3 test on Danskuddannelse 2, and modultest 3.2 is the module 2 test on Danskuddannelse 3. They are different tests at different levels, so when you search for practice material, check both numbers. Your teacher will say it like this: Du skal snart til modultest. (You have a module test soon.)
Hvilke moduler er der på DU2? The six modules and their levels
| Module | Level | Ends with |
|---|---|---|
| Module 1 | before A1 (oral only) | Modultest 2.1 |
| Module 2 | A1 | Modultest 2.2 |
| Module 3 | A2 | Modultest 2.3 |
| Module 4 | A2/B1 (the test is at A2+) | Modultest 2.4 |
| Module 5 | A2+/B1 | Modultest 2.5 |
| Module 6 | B1/B1+ | Prøve i Dansk 2 (a state exam) |
The levels are the ones in the official module goals (the executive order on the Danish education, BEK nr. 1686 of 16 December 2025, in force from 1 January 2026).
What is in each DU2 module test?
The tests are made by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) and are the same at every school. Real tests are confidential, so nobody can show you one. What is public is the format. On DU2, these parts are its own and differ from DU3:
Modultest 2.1: oral only
You give personal information, you answer questions about a photo of someone you know, and you ask questions yourself from question cards. Practise saying who is in your photo, how you know them and what they do: Det er min søster. Hun hedder Sara. Hun bor i Aarhus. (This is my sister. Her name is Sara. She lives in Aarhus.)
Modultest 2.2: a weekly schedule and a case
The oral part has a weekly schedule and a case with photos, where you ask questions about the people. The question words do most of the work: Hvad hedder hun? (What is her name?), Hvor arbejder han? (Where does he work?), Hvornår har du fri? (When are you off?)
Modultest 2.3 and 2.4: the first emails
Writing grows step by step. The email in module 3 is at least 60 words, and in module 4 at least 75 words. A short, clear email with a greeting, your reason and a closing line is what you are practising: Kære Anne. Tak for din mail. (Dear Anne. Thanks for your email.)
Modultest 2.5: describing a situation
Module 5 has its own oral task, a description of a situation, and the email is at least 90 words.
Prøve i Dansk 2 after module 6
PD2 is a state exam, not a module test. The written part is at B1 and the oral at B1+. You write a formal message and an informal email of at least 100 words, and the oral exam is in pairs, with a topic you choose and a picture or a case. PD2 is the language requirement for permanent residence; see which Danish test you need.
Hvad svarer DU2 til? How DU2 compares with DU3
There is no official conversion table, so this is my own reading of the module goals, and it is a rough guide:
| On DU2 | Roughly the level of |
|---|---|
| Modules 1 and 2 | Module 1 on DU3 |
| Module 3 | Module 2 on DU3 |
| Module 4 | Module 3 on DU3 |
| Module 5 | most of module 4 on DU3 |
The topics and the grammar line up well. The test formats do not always: DU2 has the photo of someone you know, the weekly schedule and the situation description, and its word counts are lower. So use the DU3 pages for language practice, and ask your teacher how your own test is set up.
How to practise for a DU2 module test
- Ask your school for the format. The school decides when you are ready and signs you up, and your teacher knows exactly which tasks are in your test.
- Use the official examples. The official site for the Danish tests, danskogproever.dk, publishes information about the formats and example material.
- Practise speaking about yourself first. Every DU2 oral test starts with you: name, family, work, your day. Say it out loud until it is easy.
- Count your words. In modules 3 to 5, an email under the word limit is a problem, however good the Danish is.
The free course follows Danskuddannelse 3, but the language is the same: lessons step by step, your own mind maps, questions to a case with feedback on the word order, and emails with a word counter and a checklist. If you are on DU2 module 3, start with Modul 2 in the course.
Questions people ask
Is modultest.dk the official test site?
No. modultest.dk is a practice site from the publisher Gyldendal, which you pay for. The tests themselves are made by SIRI and taken at your language school.
Can I move from DU2 to DU3?
You are placed on a track when you start. If you move faster than your class, talk to your teacher about your options.
Do I need to pass every module test?
Yes, you must pass the test at the end of a module to move on to the next one. The general rules are the same on all three tracks; see the overview of the module tests.
