stigprøve

Stigprøve is a term primarily used in Norway to refer to a type of test or examination, often within an educational or vocational context. The word literally translates to "level test" or "stage test," suggesting an assessment designed to gauge an individual's proficiency or readiness to advance to a higher level of learning or skill.

These tests can vary significantly in their purpose and format. In schools, a stigprøve might be used to determine if a student has met the necessary requirements to move to the next grade or to assess their understanding of a particular subject before progressing to more advanced topics. In vocational training, it could be an evaluation of practical skills or theoretical knowledge required for a specific trade or profession. The outcome of a stigprøve often dictates whether an individual can proceed, requires further training, or has achieved a certain standard. The specific criteria and pass marks are usually defined by the institution or authority overseeing the test.
