How does the written exam work since July 2025?
You answer 82 questions in 120 minutes, usually on a tablet. There are up to 120 points and you pass with 60. Since 1 July 2025, partly correct answers also earn points: if a question has two correct answers and you select one of them, you earn one point.
Does this help if my German is not perfect?
