01Responding to texts in Swedish
You read authentic Swedish texts such as newspaper articles, opinion pieces, short stories, letters and informational brochures, then show that you understand both the plain content and the writer's purpose. The examiners reward accurate comprehension, not clever guessing.
458 words, about 2 min02Creating texts in Swedish
You produce coherent Swedish texts for a purpose and audience: a formal letter of complaint, an informal email to a friend, a short opinion piece, a narrative or a report. Marks come from task fulfilment, organisation, range and accuracy , so a simple, correct text that does the job beats an ambitious one riddled with errors.
472 words, about 2 min03Interacting in Swedish
You take part in a conversation, discussion or role-play: greeting, asking and answering questions, giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing politely, negotiating and repairing misunderstandings. The examiner looks for fluency, interaction strategies and appropriate social language , not just grammatical accuracy.
444 words, about 2 min04Analysing and reflecting on language and culture
