Sweden confirms school-exam leak on TikTok
Sweden’s education agency has confirmed that parts of the year-nine oral national test in Swedish spread on TikTok during the testing window, but says the results can still be used.
Skolverket told Dagens Nyheter that material from the oral test in Swedish and Swedish as a second language had been shared while schools were conducting it. The testing period runs from 2 November to 4 December.
The agency says the nature of the oral assessment means pupils’ results remain usable for evaluating their knowledge despite the disclosure. It has asked TikTok to close the account.
An anonymous account posted material on Thursday that it claimed covered the seven possible texts and accompanying questions. The agency confirmed that parts had spread; it did not confirm that the account contained the complete test.
The disclosure concerns the oral component, one of three parts of the year-nine Swedish national test. The agency’s confirmation updates its earlier response that it was examining the claims.
