"No one can say how many they are, the people who time and again do the test to get their ability to the high result confirmed."

" It is hard, it has not made any study and we have no information on that it would be the elderly, which makes the test for fun. But we know that there are a proportion who do not primarily do it to apply to an education, " says Per-Erik Lyrén, project manager at Umeå university."

"On 6 april, more than 67 000 people to do the test. Some go there with a feeling that it is life-and-death, because here is decided what training you will. Others do it for fun – to get full marks can improve self-esteem."

"It raises the oldest participants are the results of the verbal elements, that is to say Swedish words and reading comprehension and English reading comprehension."

"– The largest individual ålderssambandet is in), there are logical explanations for. When it comes to the mathematical part, there is no clear-cut connection overall, " says Per-Erik Lyrén."

"the Group of 40 plus is relatively small, only 2.5 per cent of the participants are so old."

"Per-Erik Lyrén can calm those who are worried about that happen to have the misfortune to do the test at the same time as unusually many high-performance competitors."

"– You get the same results no matter if the group is relatively low or high, for that we adjust for. And is used reference groups, and secondly, we are looking at similar data used at different sittings, as we know, can be assumed to function the same over time."

"And those who do the test for the fun of it is not with and compete for the training places," he points out."

"Just like there are differences between younger and older people, there are also differences between men's and women's results. On average, capable men both the mathematical parts and the reading section better than the women."

A high school grade, however, is in deciding who is eligible to apply even in this sample group."

"the Test consists of two equally large parts. One is verbal and the test words and reading comprehension. The other is quantitative, with mathematical tasks and tasks that require logical and analytical thinking."
