What is the C-Test?

A gap test that many German university language centres use to place students in English courses, for example in Münster, Bremen, Tübingen, Duisburg-Essen and Marburg. The first and the last sentence of each text stay complete; in between, the second half of every second word is missing. Each gap is one point. Format, points and levels in detail →
