Prüfungsaufbau
The exam includes a written and an oral part, testing all four language skills.
You will complete tasks in:
- Reading

Tasks include multiple-choice questions, matching exercises, and guided communication tasks. During the speaking exam, two candidates interact, plan something together, and express opinions on topics.
Written Exam
You work on all skills in one session. Listening and reading involve comprehension tasks; in the productive parts (writing and speaking), you respond to given prompts. Some tasks combine both receptive and productive skills.
