Common questions
What is tested at German A1?
Understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases. These 279 questions cover that ground: the grammar the level introduces, the 378 words it adds, and reading texts written to sit at it.
How many questions should I do in one sitting?
One set of ten, then read the explanations for everything you got wrong before starting the next. Ten wrong answers you understand beat fifty you clicked through.
Am I ready for A1?
A rough test: work through one set of ten at A1 and one at A1. If the easier set is comfortable and the A1 set is about two-thirds right, you are at the right place to study. If A1 is under half right, drop a level for a while.
