Procedure
The written part takes an hour and tests your writing skills and your reading comprehension. In addition, a ten-minute conversation with the examiner will be used to evaluate your listening comprehension and your oral expression.
You should plan a total of two to three hours for the whole test procedure.
The test is designed to evaluate the language levels A1 to C1. For language level C2, a separate test needs to be applied for, as C2 evaluates the language on an academic level, which requires more complex written and oral competencies.
C2 does not stand for “native speaker”!
Cancelling / Non-attendance
You can cancel your registration for a language-certificate test up to 14 working days prior to the appointment and get your money back.
If you do not show up for the test, or if you cancel later than 14 working days before the test, you will not be refunded.

The student is required to do a reading comprehension exercise and to write an essay on a general topic (approx. one page on the computer, one and a half pages hand-written). The participants should also be able to talk fluently about their study program as well as their professional plans and their proposed semester abroad.
The test is designed to evaluate the language levels A1 to C1. For language level C2, a separate test needs to be applied for, as C2 tests the language on an academic level, which requires more complex written and oral competencies.
C2 does not stand for “native speaker”!
