01Listening comprehension (Hörverstehen)
In the Sachsen-Anhalt Realschulabschluss English exam, Hörverstehen checks whether you can follow spoken English at near-natural speed and extract information for a purpose.

Leseverstehen tests how you read different text types - notices, emails, articles, reports, stories - for different purposes. The exam distinguishes global reading (main idea, purpose, audience), selective reading (specific facts, figures, names) and detailed reading (inference, attitude, implied meaning).

This section combines Sprachmittlung (mediation) with Wortschatz und Grammatik in use. Mediation asks you to relay information from a German text into English (or from English into German) for a real addressee, so the focus is successful communication, not literal translation.
