Information about the entrance test German (English version below!)
The German entrance test usually consists of three parts:
- The first part of the test consists of a C test (short texts with gaps).
- The second part of the test primarily tests your knowledge of sentence structure.
- The third part of the test is reading comprehension with multiple-choice questions.
The total working time is 60 minutes.
In each of the test parts, more than 40 percent of the assessment units must be achieved.
As a rule, around 600 to 800 hours of German lessons are considered sufficient preparation for the German entrance test (competence level: around B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ).
