Test in Swedish for University Studies
TISUS (Test i svenska för universitets- och högskolestudier, or Test in Swedish for University Studies) is an official exam of proficiency in the Swedish language required[citation needed] for students applying to study at Swedish universities.
The test consists of three components: reading, writing, and speaking. The reading and writing components are written while the speaking component consists of a discussion and an indidual task.
Two scores are given: pass (godkänd) and fail (underkänd). A candidate must pass all three components to receive a passing grade. If one component is failed, it can be repeated within a year.
The TISUS exam is equivalent of level C1 (Effective Operational Proficiency or advanced) on the Common European Framework. [1]
