 1. Listening comprehension

A text (in the example “fighting pain with music”) is read to you twice. You are allowed to take notes and should answer questions about the text after the second reading (processing time 40 minutes). You can use a German-German dictionary to help.

 2. Reading Comprehension

In this part you will be presented with a text (in the example “Women between children and work”) that you understand and to which you should answer questions (processing time 45 minutes). A German-German dictionary may also be used here.

 3. Scientific language structures

Here you should fill in a fill-in-the-blank grammatically correctly (processing time 45 minutes). The fill in the blanks is based on the reading text. You can also use a German-German dictionary for this task.

 4. Default-oriented text production

In this part you should comment on a given topic in a free text taking into account certain tasks (processing time 70 minutes). The text should be around 250 words.
