• Test results (indicating the advised CEFR level to register for) can be found in the test tool JACK3 (see description).

• We know that there are many ways to manipulate test results. 
• This will not work with our tests:

If we find out in class that your language level is significantly lower than the course level, we will not grant you permission to continue the class. It will then no longer be possible to gain credit points or course certificates. You have to wait until summer semester 2024 , before you can join a suitable class.

Exemptions from language classes through IwiS test results only (Moodle recommends C1 level) are not possible! In addition, an oral examination has to be passed.

• If you received a C1 recommendation after the placement test, you can of course attend a C1 course – but no B2 classes.
• If you received a C1 recommendation after the placement test, you can contact us between 4 and 10 November 2024 via e-mail (sprachkurse@uni-due.de) to asked for an appointment for an oral exam. You will be allocated a date for an oral exam which will take place in November 2024 – in person.
• If you can confirm the C1 level in the oral exam, you will be exempted from language classes.
• If you cannot confirm the C1 level in the oral exam, you cannot participate in IwiS language classes until February/March 2025! The level to be attended is determined by the IwiS staff in accordance with your oral exam results.
• To gain a language course exemption for English, you can also take the Oxford Test of English (OTE) with us. You can find all information about the OTE HERE.
