The DSH written exam consists of four different parts:
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.
Oral exam:
All parts of the exam count equally. If you have reached at least level DSH 1 (57%), you will
be admitted to the oral examination. You will not be invited to an oral exam if the result of
the written exam is clearly unsatisfactory.
In the oral exam, you should show that you can comment on various topics and express
yourself clearly. You should prepare yourself for questions about your chosen subject. It is
possible that you will receive a small text, picture or graphic in preparation.
Overall result:
You will receive a certificate if you have achieved at least level DSH 1 (57%) in the written
and oral part of the exam. In the overall result, the worse result from the partial tests always
counts.

written part: DSH 1

overall result: DSH 1
Example 2:
written part: DSH 3
