Keep in mind that for the test:
- You have to work through 8 texts with 20 fill-in blanks each.
- Per text you will have 5 minutes for a total of 40 minutes
- When the 5 minutes are up, you are automatically switched to the next text.
- You can go directly to the next text by clicking “next” anytime.
You must follow these rules during the test:
- Write only one entry into each blank space
- Do not enter the German vowels (ä, ö, ü) and ß as letter combinations such as
ae, oe, ue or ss. - Typing mistakes count as wrong answers.
Texts already completed cannot be revisited or worked on. For more details, please review the PDF in the link menu at the top of this page (“Information Flyer“)
