Writing test #2

Writing test #2 covers Kontexte 1-6, with emphasis on Kontexte 4 & 5. Begin it only when your instructor announces that your section is to take it. Download and print both the test itself (.pdf, 54KB) and its scoring guide (.pdf, 58KB). We encourage you to score yourself and include the form with your test. That's because your learning may be hindered if you are over- or underestimating your progress. Further directions are on the test.

A note about language tests: Just as you keep using words and structures you may have learned years ago (if you even remember when you learned them), the language you are learning now will be tested cumulatively. That is, a later test may call on knowledge and skills you acquired earlier in the course. If you have continuing weaknesses in earlier material, that will affect your performance and thus your grade on later tests. If you revise your earlier tests, that will improve not only your grades on the earlier tests, but probably also your performance on later tests. Still, each test will emphasize recent material, and to get a 5 or 6 on the test you will have to have good (not necessarily perfect!) command of that material.
