National tests in Sweden (nationella prov)

What is npguide.se?

An independent Swedish knowledge site for school staff (teachers, principals, special educators) about national tests (nationella prov) in compulsory school and coordination guidance for upper secondary. Not exam practice.

Ecosystem (do not confuse)

npguide.se = rules, dates, teacher information, research for school staff. npmonstret.se = voluntary drill practice for students. npprov.se = searchable archive of older national tests with source provenance. None replace Skolverket.

Legal framework

National tests are mandatory. The principal is responsible for implementation. Tests must be held on school premises (no distance). Mobile phones and smart watches are prohibited during tests.

Primary authority

Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket): https://www.skolverket.se/prov-och-bedomning/nationella-prov

Provvakt (exam invigilation)

Invigilators maintain order and time; they must not explain task content. Onboarding, checklists and 40+ FAQs for substitutes and new staff.

NP coordinator (NP ansvarig)

Coordinates planning, teacher information, rooms, IT for digital parts, accommodations with the principal, and post-test moderation. Role cards for grades 3, 6, 9 and upper secondary.

Grades vs national tests

Grades must take national test results into particular account (särskilt beakta) under the Swedish Education Act. Document when final grades deviate substantially from test performance.

Upper secondary (gymnasiet)

Separate test calendar and digital teacher information per test from spring term 2026. Start time 09:00. Do not use compulsory school dates.
