There are also 5 current questions that are based on coverage in Danish news media of Danish social conditions, politics and cultural events. The current questions cover events that have been of special interest to Danish news media at some point during the six months leading up to the test.
Finally, there are 5 unprepared questions about Danish values. These questions are made to test whether people applying for Danish citizenship have taken Danish values to heart.
