Typical, relevant exam questions 2012
Questions V2012 (NEW version posted)
Procedure at the oral examination 2012
In advance the candidates will get a schedule for the oral exam and has to show up at the prescribed time. A maximum of 45 minutes is reserved for the oral examination of each candidate. You will get 1-2 written sets of questions and will be given a few minutes to write down some points for yourself. Then you should present the answers to the questions as clearly and completely as possible. Draw clear and very well readable sketches and illustrations! You can answer in Norwegian or English. The examiner and sensor might pose additional questions.
