01Hörverstehen - Listening
The Hörverstehen section checks whether you can pull practical information out of spoken German - announcements, short dialogues, telephone calls, directions and short narratives read twice at moderate speed. Marks come from detail (numbers, times, places, names) as much as from gist, so train both.
340 words, about 2 min02Leseverstehen - Reading comprehension
Leseverstehen carries a large share of the reading marks. You meet short authentic-style texts - e-mails, notices, timetables, advertisements, short articles, diary entries - and must show you understood both the overall message and the detail.
362 words, about 2 min03Schreiben - Writing
Schreiben asks you to produce connected German on a familiar topic: an informal letter or e-mail to a friend, a short dialogue, a picture description, or a paragraph of about 50–80 words on a given situation. Control of the structures you have learnt scores higher than ambitious vocabulary.
390 words, about 2 min04Grammatik und Wortschatz
Grammatik und Wortschatz is the accuracy section: short discrete items where you fill gaps, transform sentences, supply verb forms and match vocabulary (opposites, synonyms, word families). Everything tested comes from the textbook structures, so the marks lie in the endings and the verb position.
