Four exam papers are taken at the end of the course, each worth 25% of the GCSE. All question papers are set in the tier you have been entered for (Foundation or Higher). The table below summarises the key details.
课程结束时需要参加四份考卷，每份占 GCSE 总分的 25%。所有考卷均依照你报名的层级（基础或高级）出题。下表总结了关键信息。

| Paper 4 | Writing | 1 h | 1 h 15 min | 60 (F) / 50 (H) |
7. Paper 1: Listening | 试卷一：听力
In the listening exam you answer questions on recorded passages featuring native and near‑native speakers. The audio is played twice, and you have five minutes’ reading time at the start. Questions include multiple‑choice, gap‑fill, answer in English and short‑answer in German.
听力考试中，你需要根据由母语或接近母语者录制的音频回答问题。音频播放两遍，开始前有五分钟阅读时间。题型包括选择题、填空题、用英语回答及用德语简短作答。
To prepare, practise listening to German radio, podcasts and past papers regularly. Focus on picking out key words, numbers and times, as well as recognising opinions and justifications.
备考建议：定期收听德语广播、播客和历年真题。重点练习抓住关键词、数字和时间，并识别观点及其理由。
8. Paper 2: Speaking | 试卷二：口语
The speaking exam consists of a role‑play, a photo card discussion and a general conversation – all conducted with your teacher. Foundation candidates have 7–9 minutes, Higher candidates 10–12 minutes, with 12 minutes’ preparation time beforehand.
口语考试包括角色扮演、照片卡讨论和一般性对话，均由你的老师主持进行。基础级时长 7–9 分钟，高级级 10–12 分钟，考前有 12 分钟准备时间。
The role‑play tests transactional language such as buying a ticket or asking for information. The photo card requires you to describe a picture and answer two further related questions. The general conversation takes two themes from the syllabus and can be the longest part; here you must show spontaneity, range of vocabulary and accurate grammar.
角色扮演考察交易性语言，如买票或询问信息。照片卡要求描述图片并回答两个相关问题。一般性对话选取大纲中的两个主题，可能是时间最长的部分；你必须展现即兴反应、丰富的词汇和准确的语法。
Speaking exam tip: always extend your answers with a reason, an example or an opinion to reach the top marks.
口语考试贴士：务必用原因、例子或观点来扩展回答，以冲击最高分。

Higher‑level texts include more complex grammatical structures and a literary text in the last question.
阅读试卷包含短篇和长篇文本，部分选自真实语料。你需要用英语和德语回答问题，并完成一篇德译英翻译。高级层级的文本包含更复杂的语法结构，最后一题为文学作品节选。
Revise by reading German news articles, advertisements and short stories. Build your ability to deduce meaning from context, and practise the translation section carefully – accuracy in verb tenses and word order is vital.
通过阅读德语新闻、广告和短篇故事来复习。培养从语境推断含义的能力，并认真练习翻译部分——动词时态和语序的准确性至关重要。
10. Paper 4: Writing | 试卷四：写作

Mark schemes reward content, accuracy and range of language. Always plan your answer, stick to the bullet points, use a variety of tenses and include connectives, opinions with justifications, and examples. Leave time to check spelling, case endings and word order.
评分标准奖励内容、准确性和语言丰富度。务必先规划答案，紧扣要点，使用多种时态，并加入连接词、有理由的观点和例子。留出时间检查拼写、格词尾和语序。
11. Grammar Requirements | 语法要求
A solid command of grammar underpins success in all four skills. The specification lists the following grammar points for each tier:
扎实的语法基础是四项技能成功的关键。大纲为各层级列出了以下语法点：
- Foundation: Present, perfect, future and simple past of common verbs; modal verbs in present tense; word order in main and subordinate clauses; adjectival endings in nominative and accusative; prepositions with dative and accusative.

- 高级级：基础级所有语法加上过去完成时、第二虚拟式（条件式）、被动语态、关系从句、倒装句等复杂语序，以及更全面的形容词词尾（包括二格）。
Regular grammar practice using online platforms like conjuguemos, scaffolded writing tasks and gap‑fill exercises will help you internalise these structures.
通过使用 conjuguemos 等在线平台、框架性写作任务和填空练习进行定期语法训练，有助于你内化这些结构。
12. Essential Vocabulary and Revision Tips | 核心词汇与备考建议
The exam board provides a minimum core vocabulary list for both Foundation and Higher tiers. However, you are expected to understand words beyond this list, especially in reading and listening. Building a wide vocabulary is essential.
考试局为基础和高级层级都提供了最低核心词汇表。但你应能理解超出此范围的词汇，尤其是在阅读和听力中。积累广泛词汇至关重要。
- Create topic‑based flashcards with the German on one side and English on the other. Include example sentences.
- 制作主题分类的闪卡，一面德语、一面英语，并附上例句。
- Use a spaced‑repetition app like Anki or Quizlet to review vocabulary daily.
- 使用 Anki 或 Quizlet 等间隔重复应用每天复习。
- Practise dictation exercises to strengthen listening and spelling simultaneously.
- 进行听写练习，同时强化听力和拼写。
- Write short diary entries in German using the topics and tenses you are revising.
- 用正在复习的主题和时态写简短的德语日记。
- Work through past papers under timed conditions and analyse mark schemes to understand what examiners are looking for.
- 在限时条件下刷历年真题，并分析评分方案，理解考官的采分点。
Remember that consistency is more powerful than the length of each session. Even 15–20 minutes of daily contact with German can make a significant difference over the course of the year.
请记住，坚持比每次的时长更重要。每天哪怕只有 15–20 分钟接触德语，也能在一年中带来显著的进步。
