Einstufungstest

ENGLISCH Auffrischung A2 –
Refresher Consolidation B1
Wenn Sie Englisch in der Schule hatten, also über Kenntnisse verfügen und diese
auffrischen und erweitern möchten, machen Sie diesen Test. Er dient dazu, Sie bei
der Wahl des passenden Kurses zu unterstützen.

Es handelt sich überwiegend um einen sogenannten Multiple Choice Test, d. h. es

sind für jede Frage mehrere Antwortmöglichkeiten vorgegeben, von denen Sie die
richtige ankreuzen. Bei wenigen Fragen müssen Sie selbst ein Wort einfügen.
Hierbei kommt es nicht darauf an, die Antwort auf der Basis grammtischer Regeln
begründen zu können.

Wir bitten Sie, den Test ohne Hilfsmittel wie Grammatikbücher auszufüllen und sich
entsprechend dem Ergebnis anzumelden. Vermeiden Sie Über- oder Unterforderung,
indem Sie sich für eine andere Kursstufe anmelden, nur weil diese vielleicht besser in
Ihren Terminkalender passt.

Die Auswertung der einzelnen Testabschnitte finden Sie im Test, die Lösungen am
Ende.
