Selbsttest

Wie ist der Test aufgebaut? Sie haben 60 Fragen zu beantworten, deren Schwierigkeitsgrad sich fortlaufend erhöht. Die ersten Fragen werden daher relativ einfach sein. Die Fragen sind im "multiple choice“ Format aufgebaut, d.h. Sie müssen zwischen 3 möglichen Antworten wählen. Bitte wählen Sie die von Ihnen gewünschte Antwort per Mausklick aus oder füllen sie das entsprechende Feld aus. Sie können die Antworten jederzeit korrigieren. Es gibt immer nur eine richtige Antwort!

Wie soll ich vorgehen?
Für den Test (Part 1) dürfen Sie sich 30 Minuten Zeit nehmen. Wählen Sie also zum ungestörten und konzentrierten Arbeiten Zeit und Ort gut aus.
Der Test umfasst alle Kenntnisstufen, daher ist es durchaus möglich, dass Ihnen verschiedene Fragen zu schwierig erscheinen. Versuchen Sie bitte trotzdem, alle Fragen zu beantworten.

Während der Testbearbeitung sollten Sie weder ein Wörterbuch noch Hilfe Dritter in Anspruch nehmen, da wir sonst ein falsches Bild Ihrer Kenntnisse erhalten.

Part 2: Im Anschluss an den Test möchten wir Sie bitten das "Job and Language Profile" auszufüllen.
