230422 Language Proficiency Test II (SuSe 2024) (MDP) (SoSe 2024)

This is the module exam for BM1. It can be taken at any point, provided you have participated in the BM1 seminars. You do NOT have to take it as soon as you have finished BM1, and if you feel you need to work at your language skills more before taking it, please do that.
The LPT has two components, which are technically two separate exams: the 60-minute written paper (Grammar and Usage plus a mediation task consisting of an English summary of a German text), and an interview (oral presentation of an argument or question, with a followup conversation with two examiners, taking in total around eight or nine minutes). The written and interview components do not have to be taken on or around the same date or even in the same semester. If you fail one component, you do not have to repeat both exams. Both components are offered twice each semester. You can take part in either the first or the second LPT in any given semester; you do not have to have taken part in the first one to participate in the second one.

About a fortnight before each LPT, we send an email to all students of English inviting them to sign up for it, if they have not already done so. Once this sign-up deadline has passed, we contact the candidates via the ekvv mailing list with detailed instructions on signing up for the interview (or the "no interview" group). We also publish a Moodle with a wealth of useful resources, including FAQs, a sample test, the latest version of Auntie Alligator's List of Don'ts and the assessment sheets used by the examiners.
