Informations about the Test
The test is comprised of three parts in which the three communicative skills of reading, writing and speaking are tested. Generally, the written test takes place in person between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m., after which the oral part takes place (via Zoom if necessary). The test procedure is as follows:
1. reading comprehension (60 minutes)
2. written production (60 minutes)
3. oral production (approx. 15 minutes). Please note that we cannot guarantee a desired start time.
The "reading comprehension" part is composed of common testing formats used at the ZFA and other standardised language exams, like multiple choice, Right/Wrong/Not Stated, blanks, etc. The part "written production" requires two texts in varying styles and lenghts. The part "oral production" is designed in an interview format with one examiner (another person may be present if necessary).
Test Preparation
As this test is intended as a language level test that is supposed to certify your current language level in regards to studies in the English language, specific preparation for the test is neither practical nor necessary.
