National German Exam
for High School German Students
The National German Exam is administered each year to nearly 26,000 high school students in the second, third and fourth level of German. The exam, now in its 58th year, provides individual diagnostic feedback, rewards students through an extensive prize program, and creates a sense of accomplishment. Exam results provide a means of comparing students in all regions of the country, as well as programmatic data provided to help inform curricular decisions. Exam results are among the criteria used in selecting the recipients of chapter awards and the national AATG/PAD Study Trip Awards, a four-week study trip program in Germany.
The Exam period for the Level 2, 3, and 4 Exams is December 1, 2020 to January 30, 2021 and registration begins October 1, 2020.
The Exam period for Level 1 Exams is April 5 to May 4, 2021 and registration begins February 1, 2021.
