about the test

This test is a C test, i.e. the participants are given 8 gapped texts which they have to complete in a time of 5 minutes each. The test is not competency-oriented (i.e. listening, speaking, reading and writing skills), but provides summary information about the level of general language competence in German or English based on the score achieved. The test takes 40 minutes.

Registration

The test can be taken during the opening hours of the ZEMS media library. Please register at least 3 working days in advance by email mediothek(at)zems.tu-berlin.de or by phone at Mediothek and arrange an individual examination date.
