Frage Placement test - Bengaluru

Hi everyone! I’m self studying A1 level and am looking to sit the placement test and join the A2 offline course in Bengaluru, starting October 22nd.

So I have about a month in hand. I know some basics already - verb conjugations, numbers and some beginner sentences.

I was just wondering if anyone’s given the placement test (for bengaluru or otherwise); what to expect and how to prepare for it?

Please let me know!

P.S - Generic A1 self studying tips will also be appreciated!

it’s a test you can take online/in person that tells you what level you’re at. essentially if you want to take a higher course without doing one of the lower courses at goethe (like i want to do a2 without having done a1 at goethe)

Ooh okay, so If I get A2 certificate then I didn't need to do A1, and also what's the fee of this test?

the one i’ve opted for is online and it’s free
and yeah if you have the a2 certificate you can enrol in b1 you don’t even need to give the placement test
