Modultest 2.3: Danskuddannelse 2, module 3

Modultest 2.3 is the test at the end of module 3 on Danskuddannelse 2 (DU2), at level A2. It has an oral part with a topic task from your own mind map and an information gap, where you ask questions about a person. It also has reading and a short email of at least 60 words. If you searched for “modultest dk 2.3”, you were probably looking for Gyldendal’s paid practice site. This page is a free overview from a Danish teacher, with phrases you can hear.

What is modultest 2.3?

The number before the dot is the track, and the number after the dot is the module. So modultest 2.3 is Danskuddannelse 2, module 3. It is not the same as modultest 3.2, which is module 2 on Danskuddannelse 3. The two tests are close in level, but they belong to different tracks, so check both numbers when you look for practice material.

DU2 is the track for people with a shorter school background. It has six modules, and module 3 is at level A2. You must pass the test to move on to module 4. Your teacher will tell you when you are ready: Du skal snart til modultest. (You have a module test soon.) The overview of the DU2 module tests explains the whole track.

What is in modultest 2.3? The oral part

The tests are made by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) and are the same at every language school. The real tests are confidential. What is public is the format and some example tasks on the official site, Danskuddannelse 2: materialer til modultest (checked 24 October 2026). For module 3, it lists two oral tasks.

Task 1: a topic from your mind map

You prepare a topic about your own life, for example your work or your education, as a mind map. In the test, you talk about it, and the tester asks you questions. The questions go a little deeper than in module 2: why, how, and can you tell me more. These are the kinds of questions you should be ready for:

• Hvordan fandt du dit job?How did you find your job?
• Hvordan er din chef?What is your boss like?
• Hvordan kom du på arbejde i går?How did you get to work yesterday?
• Hvorfor valgte du den uddannelse?Why did you choose that education?
• Hvad laver du, når du ikke er på sprogskolen?What do you do when you are not at the language school?

Notice the past tense: fandt, kom, valgte. At A2 you are expected to talk about what happened, not only about what you do every day. Practise answering with a reason, too: Jeg kan godt lide mit job, fordi jeg har søde kollegaer. (I like my job because I have nice colleagues.)

Task 2: the information gap

In the information gap, you ask questions about a person you do not know. The official example is a case with pictures of a woman called Maja at work and in her free time. You get the pictures and some key words, and you find out the rest by asking. Good questions are short and focused, with the verb right after the question word:

• Hvor arbejder hun?Where does she work?
• Hvornår har hun fri?When is she off work?
• Hvad laver hun i fritiden?What does she do in her free time?
• Hvor mange timer om ugen arbejder hun?How many hours a week does she work?
• Kan hun godt lide sit arbejde?Does she like her work?

The most common mistake is the word order from a statement: Hvor hun arbejder? instead of Hvor arbejder hun? In Danish, the verb comes before the person in a question, and there is no “do”.

Reading and writing in modultest 2.3

The written part has reading tasks and an email. The official page has example reading tasks for 2.3, and the first one is with ads, where you find information in short texts. Read the question first, then look for the name, the time or the number it asks about. You do not need to understand every word.

The email is at least 60 words. That is the DU2 word limit for module 3; it goes up to 75 words in module 4 and 90 in module 5. An email under the limit is a problem, however good the Danish is, so count your words. A clear email has a greeting, an answer to each point in the task, and a closing line:

• Kære Anne.Dear Anne.
• Tak for din mail.Thanks for your email.
• Jeg kan desværre ikke komme på lørdag, fordi jeg skal arbejde.Unfortunately I cannot come on Saturday, because I have to work.
• Mange hilsner AliBest wishes, Ali

Use fordi (because) at least once. It shows that you can give a reason, and that is what the level asks for.

Modultest 2.3 or 3.2: what is the difference?

There is no official conversion table, so this is my own reading of the module goals: module 3 on DU2 is roughly the level of module 2 on DU3 (A2). The topics and the grammar are much the same: the past tense, reasons with fordi, and longer answers about your own life. The DU2 track goes more slowly and has lower word limits. So the DU3 module 2 page is useful for language practice, but ask your teacher about the exact tasks in your own test.

How to practise for modultest 2.3

1. Make your mind map early. Choose a topic with something to say about it, such as your work or your education. Write key words, not sentences.
2. Say it out loud every day. Two minutes about your topic, then answer the questions above with a reason.
3. Practise asking. Take a photo of a friend at work and ask seven questions about it. Check that the verb comes second.
4. Write one 60-word email a week. Count the words and check that you answered every point.
5. Look at the official examples. Your school and the official site have the example tasks, and your teacher knows how your test is set up.

The free course follows Danskuddannelse 3, but the language is the same. If you are on DU2 module 3, start with Modul 2 in the course: 20 lessons, your own mind maps, an information gap that checks your questions and tells you where the word order goes wrong, and emails with a word counter.

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 real test is made by SIRI and taken at your language school.

Can I bring notes to the oral test?

Ask your teacher. The official material for module 3 has a mind map template for the topic task, and your school tells you before the test day what you may bring into the room.

What happens if I do not pass modultest 2.3?

You need to pass the test to move on to module 4. Talk to your teacher about when you can take it again; the school decides when you are ready.
