Are you looking to take your German language skills to the next level? If so, you may be interested in taking the VCE German exams. These exams are offered by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) and are designed to test your knowledge of the German language and culture. Let’s get started!
What should I know about this?
The first thing you need to know about VCE exams is that they can be taken at Year 12 and Specialist levels. The specialist level of the exam is for students enrolled in a German language course at university, while the year 12 exam is more appropriate for high school students. Regardless of which level you choose, there are a few critical facets that all exams have in common.
A critical element of every exam is the listening portion. This section tests your ability to understand spoken German and simple written texts read aloud by a native speaker. In addition to listening passages, each exam includes written sections where you will be asked to demonstrate your knowledge of German vocabulary and grammar. For the specialist level exam, you must also display your knowledge of German at an intermediate or higher level in a written passage that you are asked to write yourself.
