            How to prepare for the exam on your own:<\/h2>\n

            Candidates for these tests are young boys who are used to studying and preparing exams on their own, so they should be able to face these types of tests alone.\u00a0In any case, depending on the degree of maturity, some of them will need help: having someone around to help them organize, especially.\u00a0We advise you as a teacher or parent to be the one who controls the study times and structure<\/strong>\u00a0, especially for students who need it.\u00a0It’s important to have in mind:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • They must know what they are doing, and they must give it their time and concentration.<\/li>\n
            • For these ages, it\u00a0is good that they do it with other boys their age<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If it’s not full time, then at least they interact with someone, study with someone and share, so that they find it entertaining and want to continue.\u00a0That will cheer them up a lot.<\/li>\n
            • These guys\u00a0must already know German<\/strong>\u00a0;\u00a0that is, they must already control the B1 level to be able to take this exam.\u00a0So it is advisable that they have followed a previous course or have had contact with natives in an extended way in time.\u00a0It is an intermediate level, so they must have extensive knowledge of the German language.<\/li>\n
            • It is recommended that they prepare the tests in advance<\/strong>\u00a0, so that they do not feel pressured and unmotivated;\u00a0It is preferable that the preparation lasts longer, but that they do it in a relaxed way.\u00a0That the time they dedicate to it be of quality and full concentration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              In addition to the above general tips, you must prepare the different specific tests that make up this exam, for which we advise:<\/p>\n

              Reading Comprehension:<\/h3>\n

              Oral comprehension:<\/h3>\n

              As it is about listening, we recommend that children dedicate themselves to listening to what they like the most, such as music in German, series, movies, etc.<\/p>\n

              Oral expression:<\/h3>\n

              it is about talking, if possible with natives;\u00a0practice is what will ensure success.\u00a0Children must make the effort and make the most of all the vocabulary they have acquired in their readings, series, songs, movies.\u00a0In case you may be interested in preparing them, the Institute puts\u00a0this resource at hand\u00a0, very interesting.\u00a0It is advised that if you can make an exchange trip, that you take advantage of it.\u00a0The latter will help you a lot when facing this type of exams.<\/p>\n
