In early November, around 17,000 students were scheduled to take a practice exam on the Swedish National Agency for Education's exam platform, as a test ahead of the digital national exams next spring. However, a number of schools reported login problems and system slowness.
The turmoil led the Swedish National Agency for Education to announce last week that the upper secondary school's digital exams in Swedish and English will be replaced with paper exams. And now the Swedish National Agency for Education is taking another step and replacing the upper secondary school's digital national exam in mathematics (levels 1a, 1b, 1c) on December 16 with paper exams. The reason is that the agency is still analyzing what went wrong in the practice exam.
