Preliminära beskrivningar av goda svar 16.3.2026

De preliminära beskrivningarna av goda svar utgör en riktgivande beskrivning av de svar som förväntas på uppgifterna i provet. De är i första hand ämnade som stöd för den preliminära bedömningen. De preliminära beskrivningarna av goda svar innehåller och beskriver inte nödvändigtvis alla godkända svar. De preliminära beskrivningarna av goda svar utgör inte en del av den uppgift om hur bedömningsgrunderna tillämpats på en enskild examinands provprestation som avses i Studentexamensnämndens allmänna föreskrifter och anvisningar. De preliminära beskrivningarna av goda svar är inte bindande för Studentexamensnämnden då grunderna för den slutgiltiga bedömningen fastställs.

Fulla poäng kan endast ges för ett svar som inte innehåller felaktig information. Om längden på svaret på en öppen fråga är begränsat till ett visst antal tecken, leder en överskridning av teckenantalet till poängavdrag. Avdraget är 1 poäng oberoende av maximipoängen för frågan.

Provprestationerna får inte kopieras. De är sekretessbelagda handlingar.

Anvisningarna om bedömningstjänsten för det elektroniska provet är åtkomliga på nämndens webbplats via länken: https://www.ylioppilastutkinto.fi/sv/webbtjanster/anmalan-till-examen-och-bedomning-av-provprestationer/anvandarinstruktion

De kriterier utifrån vilka skrivuppgiften bedöms finns beskrivna i en särskild tabell i Studentexamensnämndens föreskrifter om proven i det andra inhemska språket och främmande språk.
