Frequently asked questions
What vocabulary is tested in the C1 German exam (DSH / TestDaF)?
C1 exams test academic and formal vocabulary, including field-specific nouns in science, economics, and social sciences. Many C1 learners are surprised by how many noun articles they don't know — even after years of study.
Is memorising articles still important at C1?
Absolutely. Even advanced speakers make article errors, especially with rare or field-specific nouns. Grammatical correctness distinguishes C1 from B2.
