Nationella provet i svenska och svenska som andraspråk nivå 1 (komvux)

The national test at level 1 in Swedish and Swedish as a second language is set by the test group at Uppsala University and is common to both subjects, with some differences in time and assessment. It has three parts: part A, an individual oral presentation within the test theme (about 10 minutes per student); part B, reading comprehension (120 minutes, or 180 minutes for Swedish as a second language); and part C, a written text of 300 to 700 words that uses a source text, written in 180 minutes, choosing one of three tasks such as a debate post or a reflective post for a website. Since the 2023 to 2024 school year each part gives points, each part is a third of the test, and only the whole test gets a test grade. The test is mandatory at level 1 in municipal adult education (komvux), which also has its own September test. From January 2027 komvux removes the preparation time in part C: students meet the three tasks and their source texts on the test day and get 60 more minutes. Skolverket keeps tests secret while it reuses them; level 1 tests given from 2012 to 2017, and in spring 2018, are no longer reused, and the test group does not publish previous tests for copyright reasons but publishes example tasks, matrices and assessed student texts.
