01Grammar and Structure
Grammar and Structure tests control of basic German forms and sentence building: articles and cases, verb conjugation, tenses, word order, prepositions, negation and questions. Accuracy matters because a wrong ending or verb position can change the meaning or make the sentence unintelligible. Learn every noun with its article and plural: der Termin / die Termine, das Ergebnis / die Ergebnisse, die Wohnung / die Wohnungen. Gender controls the article and adjective ending.

Reading Comprehension tests understanding of short written German in everyday formats: signs, notices, emails, forms, advertisements, timetables, menus and simple articles. You need both the main point and specific details such as times, prices, conditions and names. Identify the text type first. An Aushang, E-Mail, Formular, Anzeige, Speisekarte and Fahrplan each place information differently.
371 words, about 2 min03Writing and Text Production
Writing and Text Production tests short practical texts: an email or message, postcard, invitation, excuse, form, or simple description. Marks depend on covering every content point, choosing the right register, writing understandable sentences and controlling basic spelling and punctuation. Before writing, identify the recipient and purpose. A message to a friend uses du and an informal greeting; a message to an office, teacher or landlord uses Sie and a formal greeting.
