"How does everyone already know?", writes one user in the comments section on Tiktok.
What "everyone knows" is what a question in an upcoming national exam is claimed to be. And it doesn't take long for SVT Nyheter to find Tiktok clips that have been viewed tens of thousands of times, commented on thousands of times, and that contain what appear to be the tasks that a day or two later will be performed during the national test in Swedish.
"Not the way it was supposed to"
On Tuesday evening, the Swedish National Agency for Education also confirmed to SVT that what is being disseminated is authentic.
"It's absolutely unfortunate, this is not how it was intended. It was intended that the teacher distributes the assignment when the test is to begin, says Anders Boman, head of unit for national tests at the National Agency for Education.
At the same time, the Swedish National Agency for Education says that the information disseminated is incomplete - and that the test will be held as planned on Thursday.
" What has been disseminated is the heading from which an essay should be written, what has not been disseminated is the whole task to follow when writing the essay. Therefore, we make the assessment that this test is worth carrying out, says Anders Boman.
"Hard to see everything on Tiktok"
National tests have been spread on social media for many years, but it should be unusual for it to take place already in year six. Anders Boman points out that the tests are in an ongoing digitization process intended to prevent similar things from happening again.
Do you have poor insight into what is happening on Tiktok?
"It's very difficult to conduct any kind of signals intelligence on Tiktok, it's hard to be everywhere and see everything on Tiktok. Exactly what has happened I don't know. It's just to say that somewhere in the handling, there has been a breakdown," says Anders Boman.
