Do you want to take a German course and you do not know what your level is? The Sprachschule Aktiv gives you the opportunity to test your German language skills from A1 to C2 free of charge. You can come by the language school, where a German teacher will guide you. If you do not live in Vienna or you have little time at the moment, you are free to take our online placement test in German, which is available for you free of charge.<\/p>\n
Our placement tests are available for several levels. Ideally, you would start from the first level and work your way up to the higher level. For more clarification on your exam results, feel free to contact us via telephone or email and we would recommend you the most suitable course.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”pgs_accordion_style_1″ active_section=””][vc_tta_section title=”How many questions does the placement test contain?” tab_id=”1619728591143-3705dc09-97ab”][vc_column_text]The online German placement test contains around 20 questions per half level, e.g. 20 questions for A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, etc. each. You have to go through all questions from the first question to the last to get a reliable test result. The online German placement test can only be evaluated correctly if you answer all the questions for the respective test level.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What percentage do you have to achieve in the German placement test in order to pass a level?” tab_id=”1619728591154-6073e210-3427″][vc_column_text]The online German placement test is evaluated as a percentage of the overall result. This means that if you achieve below 60% at a test level, you should attend a language course at the same tested language level. If you achieve more than 60% of the required language skills for this level in a test level, you can take part in a language course of the next level. For example, if you achieve level B1.1 below 60% in a placement test, you must attend a level B1.1 course. If you achieve over 60% here, you can take part in a B1.2 course. It is therefore best to go through each test level until it is below 60% – then you will know at which German level you have to start learning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How do I get my results?” tab_id=”1619728770313-b44fc51b-999f”][vc_column_text]You start with the first question and click your way through to the last question. An answer based on the single-choice principle must be chosen for each question. This means that for each question there is only one possible answer and the right one. After completing the online placement test and after answering all questions up to the last question, you will automatically receive your test result online on your screen. Then, you can get in touch with us to book your German language course.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=” What do test results according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages (GER) mean?” tab_id=”1619728790332-69c790ab-dd90″][vc_column_text]The main objective of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (GER) is to make language learning successes comparable with each other in other European countries and to create a common benchmark for the acquisition of language skills. In this way, existing language skills in a large number of European languages can be compared and classified, which also helps to create precise, suitable learning plans for language courses at every language level. GER differentiates three levels of language use, A, B and C, as follows:<\/p>\n
A: Elementary use of language<\/strong> B: Independent use of language<\/strong> C: Proficient use of language<\/strong> Learn German with our blogs<\/a>.
\n– Beginners: A1.1 and A1.2
\n– Basic knowledge: A2.1. and A2.2<\/p>\n
\n– Advanced language use: B1.1 and B1.2
\n– Independent language use: B2.1 and B2.2<\/p>\n
\n– Expert language skills: C1.1 and C1.2
\n– Nearly native language skills: C2.1 and C2.2

In this case, no placement test is usually required. You start with an A1 German language course.
