Common questions
What is in a German vocabulary test?
Two kinds of question, in blocks of five: gap-fill sentences where four words fit the grammar and only one fits the meaning, and der, die or das for the nouns at your level.
Why do the wrong options look plausible?
Because they are the same part of speech and the same level. A distractor you can rule out on grammar alone tests nothing, so the difficulty is in the meaning.
Is there a rule for der, die and das?
There are reliable endings (-ung, -heit, -keit, -schaft and -ion are feminine; -chen and -lein are neuter; -er, -ling and -ismus are usually masculine), but no rule covers the core vocabulary. For those, exposure is the method, which is what these questions drill.
How many C1 vocabulary tests are there?
12, with 125 questions and answers. Every word used is within the C1 vocabulary, and every answer is explained.
Are the tests free?
Test 1 at each level is free, with no account. The other tests are for members, $7 a month on Patreon, or lifetime access bought once.
