What was the test like? What do they ask there?
They asked everything that could be imagined...

First of all there were questions which should show if you are able to think logically, then there were questions concerning math and german spelling. Then about literature and German history. Finally about intercultural knowledge. The tricky part however was that you only had a certain amount of time to fulfill the tasks and you didn't know how much time you had. This part of the test lasted 5 hours. After that you had to show your skills in two foreign languages. You had to prepare texts and very difficult translations and other stuff.

One question I remember was about literature and they asked which auther wrote a book that played in his hometown... or they asked details about German books. On top there was one question about a man from Isreal who fought for Human Rights in th 1990ies and you had to give the name.

At least it was multiple choice...

They are crazy
But in case of the Foreign Office more than 2000 people applied. 1500 did the test and 100 (when you make 107 points ) are afterwards invited to present themselves in front of a comission. And they only need 34 people...

Lara- Cool! But like I said I am sure she had been a great teacher.

Guys, I am so worried. I lost my driver's licence. I have tried to find it everywhere in my home but...nothing!

Oh no... it would be different for you because you could apply for Höheren Dienst because you have a university degree.

Klick

That's the link to some test examples but I belive that they are easier than the ones in the test.

Aroa! I'm sorry because of your driver's licence

But that reminds me of the day when I thought I had lost my cell phone
I searched everywhere and I just couldn't find it. I called the company so that nobody could use it. Two days later I drove to a friend and on my way my cell phone started to ring but I seriously couldn't find it. I stopped and found it under the seat.

That degree should be no problem, right?

18 euros for a piece of plastic?!?!?! Have you looked in all your handbags and schoolbag? Maybe it's in the car.

We will all get our degrees ..... At least i hope so after so many years
