To obtain a medical license in Sweden, it is required to pass the test if one has studied in a country outside the EU/EEA.
The latest result with 19 approved out of 185 participants is the second worst ever. Normally, the average of those who pass the test is around 20 percent.
However, the reason for the drastic drop in results is unclear.
Nothing has changed in how we create questions and the test maintains the same quality as before, says Magnus Hultin, responsible for the knowledge test, to Läkartidningen.
The test has, however, been previously criticized for being too difficult and having too much preclinical focus. However, Magnus Hultin does not agree with this.
No, these are the same types of questions that students on the regular medical education program have to answer.
