The Swedish Scholastic Aptitude test on April 5th is approaching – we’ve got the tools to get you through!
The Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test (SweSAT) is rapidly approaching, and perhaps the nervousness has started to kick in? Whether it’s your first, second, or third time, the SweSATs can feel overwhelming. Which is why we’ve gathered information, tips, and tools to calm, strengthen, and prepare you.
By now, the invitation to the test should be in both your inbox and on hogskoleprov.nu. The invitation contains important information about where, when, and how you’ll be taking your test—so be sure to read it carefully, and even a few extra times.
Preparation the week before
Take a final look at the different sections of the test and review your strengths and weaknesses. What do you need to practice a bit more on, and what do you feel confident about? Once you’ve assessed your knowledge, you can practice with past tests via hpguiden, or why not print a few tests out and arrange a mock test day with some friends? Grab a stopwatch and follow the real schedule, which can be found here. The same schedule applies on April 5th.
Set aside an hour each day to study the areas that feel extra difficult.
The day before the test
It’s Friday evening, and tomorrow is the big day—time to make sure the car is fueled up, the ticket is ready for the bus or train ride, and everything you need is in place.
Here are a few tools we recommend you bring with you: a pencil, an eraser, a regular ruler, and a highlighter. Bring several pencils and extra graphite, it’s good to have a backup if one pen runs out. Earplugs are allowed, but keep in mind that you might not be able to hear when the test leader makes time announcements.
Prepare a lunch box to bring with you. 50 minutes for lunch flies by quickly when you need to find a place, get there, order, pay, eat, and get back to the exam room. Pack your food, drinks, and snacks that don’t need to be refrigerated overnight, so you have something to eat and drink during the shorter breaks that are only 20 minutes long. You cannot eat or drink while taking the test.
Take a look at the test day schedule and plan your trip based on distance and location. Allow extra time for any unexpected events, so you don’t arrive late. If you arrive late, you won’t be allowed to enter, and we definitely don’t want to risk that!

Science Week: Innovative arenas create collaboration for the city of the future
Stockholm is growing and we want a smart city with knowledge-intensive industry that is sustainable. In a panel discussion during Science Week on February 1, we discuss how innovative neutral arenas are central to the development of the smart and knowledge-intensive city.
Our Sound Space – soundscapes in cities
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience an interactive sound installation at the same time as you contribute to research that improves the future of urban planning.
The Our Sound Space installation has now opened at Neo in Flemingsberg, which offers visitors the opportunity to use their smartphones to experiment with different sound environments and explore with soundscapes.
Our Sound Space is part of the Planning for Youth research project that aims to study methods and tools for meaningful participation of the younger demographic groups in participatory planning and placemaking. Romina Rodela is Docent at Södertörn University and project leader for the initiative. ““Historically, children and young people have not been very central in spatial planning. In our project, we want to explore new methods which are better able to capture their voice in spatial planning and placemaking,” says Rodela.
In this case, you use your smartphone to listen to how a new residential area will sound, for example. Which sounds are perceived as positive and which sound environments are less attractive? The idea is to give the planners of the future better tools to include children, young people and people with impaired vision or other functional variations in the planning stages of such projects. “We’ll use Our Sound Space to gather opinions from different groups to establish how effective a tool like this can be. At the same time, the installation is open to all to try out and comment on,” says Rodela. The software itself is developed by researcher Maurizio Goina at KTH and may in future be shared with planners, construction companies and architects.
Mattias Lindén is responsible for Hemsö’s properties in Flemingsberg and believes that installations such as Our Sound Space have the potential to improve the image of the area. “We’re sitting on an underused resource. In courtyards and along walkways there are areas that could be used for temporary art exhibitions – opportunities for as yet undiscovered artists to gain some exposure. We’ve just decided to support the Our Sound Space project. Imagine if people in the future will associate Flemingsberg with exuberant creativity, a place where you experience new and fresh ideas. Our Sound Space can be a small step in that direction,” says Lindén, Senior Property Manager at Hemsö. Our Sound Space runs until 7th March, while the research project will continue for another two years.
