The Scottish Conservatives' Jamie Greene warned it is "fast becoming the first scandal of this new parliament."
The criticism comes after an independent parents group challenged the fairness of the assessments.
Mr Swinney told MSPs that pupil grades will be determined by teachers and will not be challenged.
During parliamentary questions Mr Greene said there is "growing and widespread concern" over the Scottish Qualification Authority's assessments and awards process.
He added that the author of a review into the fallout of the 2020 exams diet, Prof Mark Priestley, described the present situation as an "unfolding debacle".
