Rebecca Zauner, a 23-year-old from Piteå, achieved an impressive score of 1.95 out of a possible 2.0 on the Swedish university entrance exam, högskoleprovet, last year.

Her outstanding performance secured her a place in the prestigious medical program at Karolinska Institutet.

Rebecca's journey to becoming a medical student was not straightforward; she initially pursued an arts program and a dance course in Germany before completing additional studies to meet the medical program's requirements.

As the autumn session of högskoleprovet approaches, with 61,994 participants registered, Rebecca shares her top tips for success.

She emphasizes the importance of early preparation, maintaining focus, and answering all questions since there are no penalties for incorrect answers.

Her advice is particularly timely as more people in Norrbotten, including new test-takers in Gällivare, prepare for the exam.
