Five question types

The formats German exams actually use.

Sprachbausteine Grammar Gap-Fill Pick the form that fits the gap: cases, verb endings, prepositions and connectors in real sentences. 561 questions · A1–C2 Wortschatz Vocabulary Gap-Fill One word is missing and only one of four fits. Tests meaning, not grammar. 478 questions · A1–C2 Artikel Articles: der, die or das The single hardest habit in German. Drill the gender of the nouns at your level. 360 questions · A1–C2 Konjugation Verb Conjugation One form of a verb is given; supply the one the item asks for. 720 questions · A1–C2 Wortstellung Word Order Four orderings of the same sentence, one of them German. 720 questions · A1–C2 Leseverstehen Reading Comprehension Read a short German text and answer questions about what it actually says. 584 questions · A1–C2 Richtig oder Falsch True or False Decide whether each statement matches the text. Fast, and unforgiving of skim-reading. 474 questions · A1–C2

Common questions

Are these real Goethe or telc exam questions?

No. They are modelled on the task formats those exams use (Sprachbausteine, Leseverstehen, richtig/falsch), but they are written for this site, not taken from a paper. Use them to drill the format and your vocabulary, not to predict a score.

How are the questions kept at the right level?

Every word in the stem and in every option is checked against the vocabulary list up to that level, including inflected forms. A word above the level is only allowed if it is common enough to fall inside a per-level frequency budget. Items that failed that check were dropped, not softened.

Who wrote them?

A language model wrote them, grounded in the reading texts and the example sentences. A second model pass then answered every item blind, with the options already shuffled, and flagged anything ambiguous. Disagreements were dropped. Nothing here has been reviewed by a teacher, so treat a question that looks wrong as possibly wrong.
