German for Beginners:

Review Test 1
Lektionen 1-5
This is the review test for Lessons 1 through 5. Before taking this test, you should have already studied Lektionen 1-5 and done the exercises for each of
those lessons. (See Lesson 1)
How is this test different from the previous exercises?
First of all, there are no multiple-choice items as in some of the exercises. This test uses mostly open-ended questions that require a free response. If you are
NOT totally familiar with the vocabulary and grammar in Lessons 1-5, you should NOT attempt this test! The test will still be here after you have done any
necessary review.
Test Correction
Although your Guide used to do so, because of increased demand and time constraints, he is no longer able to correct this test for you. However, you can
view the answer key after taking this test. See the instructions at the end of the test.
