What is press reporting
That the test day was 15 August, that around 1,000 people were called, and that the test contained roughly 60 multiple-choice questions comes from press reporting, not from uhr.se. We report it as press reporting and not as a fixed format: UHR writes that information about duration and number of questions for the next sitting will follow.
What happens now
Registration is closed. UHR states that information about when the next sitting takes place will be announced on uhr.se during the autumn. We track that on our status page for the next sitting, which is updated the same day anything is published.
