Equivalency Details

The German Language examination is designed to measure knowledge and ability equivalent to that of students who have completed two to four semesters of college German language study. It focuses on skills typically achieved from the end of the first year through the second year of college study; material taught during both years is incorporated into a single examination. The examination is administered in three separately timed sections: * Sections I and II: Listening, * Section III: Reading. The examination contains approximately 120 questions to be answered in 90 minutes. The three sections are weighted so that each question contributes equally to the total score. Any time candidates spend on tutorials or providing personal information is in addition to the actual testing time.

Covers the fundamentals of German including drill-in grammar competency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and application. Aural-oral reading skills are also introduced. Prerequisite: Eligibility for enrollment in ENGL 101 and completion of any reading courses required by the College Testing and Placement Program. (H&A)
