A group calling itself the HP Help send out letters with offers of help to cheat on the university entrance exam.

– I think it’s unethical, sucks, says Adel Matte, 24, who received the flyer in the mail.
for those who did not get top grades in high school is a good result on the Scholastic Aptitude test only way into the prestigious courses as legal and medical programs.
Last Thursday received Adel Matte, 24, a letter home to Vällingby in Stockholm.
– It was from a company calling itself the HP Help. They wrote that they could help me to get 1.9 on the sample of 99 000 kronor. I just thought: “What the hell is this?”.
The price rises for each tenth
In the letter there is a price list for different results. He who is content with 1.4 to pay 39,000 kronor. The result 1.5 costs 49 000 SEK. Then it goes up to 1.9, which costs 99 000.
The only HP-Aid does not offer the peak performance of 2.0.
“Because you need to have unique responses, we need to provide a number of errors. This means that we can not guarantee higher earnings than 1.9 “writes one.
” To hell “
Adel Mum had not performing well enough to get into medical school in Sweden. For some years he was studying medicine program in Wroclaw, southern Poland. His girlfriend and her brother – who does the same thing – have also received the letter from HP help.
– I do not know if they target the people who are studying abroad and they intend to move back home and start studying in Sweden.
– I think it’s unethical, sucks against those who struggle for years to get a good enough performance to get in on what they want.

According to the letter, the customer pays 5000 SEK deposit for an earphone that “no bigger than a grain of rice.” HP Help states that the film sample with a hidden camera and then gives the correct answer in the earpiece.
Tuula Kuosmanen, head of the university entrance exam at the University and College Council (UHR), recognize the method.

kicked out of medical school
In the autumn of 2015 had UHR tips about widespread cheating in university entrance exam. Subsequent analyzes of response patterns led to 42 candidates got their answers during the famous and 9 students at the Karolinska Institute was thrown out of the medical program.
The new opportunities to cheat has led to UHR asked the government for increased powers.
– as it is now, we can not report to the police those who cheat. We can reject the results and deprive training, but we also want to notify the police.
“What are you prepared to do that doctors”
A measure UHR discussed is that all candidates must certify “on their honor” that they did not use any technical aids.
Anyone caught cheating would be prosecuted for vårdlös statement.
– It may result in a fine or six months’ prison, says Tuula Kuosmanen.
When can the operation be in place?
– We aim to have the new rules for the autumn tests.
Tuula Kuosmanen says UHR is very keen to stop the cheating.
– You should not get into the fake credentials. You should not take a training location that you are not entitled to any other. If you are willing to cheat to get into medical school, what are you prepared to do when you finish a doctor?
