1According to the TASC GRM315114 External Assessment Specifications, how many spoken texts appear in Written Section A (Listening and Responding)?
A.Four spoken texts in German
B.Two spoken texts in German
C.Six spoken texts in German
D.One continuous dialogue only
Explanation: Section A includes four spoken German texts for response in English, each allocated roughly 11–13 marks for a section total of 48. The texts balance single- and dual-person recordings.
2In GRM315114 Section A, each spoken text is played how many times?
A.Once only, with no gaps
B.Three times, with timed gaps between readings
C.Twice, with a dictionary break between readings
D.Continuously on loop for the full hour
Explanation: Each spoken text is read three times: after the first and second readings there is a gap equal to the passage length; after the third reading the gap is double the passage length.
3Which language must students use for Section A listening responses in GRM315114?
A.Either English or German for each item
B.German only
C.English
D.Latin script transliteration of German
Explanation: Criterion 1 listening responses are written in English as short, closed-ended answers. Students are not required to write complete sentences.
4A Section A question asks for a detail stated in two consecutive sentences of a spoken text. In TASC Appendix A terms, this is primarily which question type?
A.Type 4 — extended essay response
B.Type 3 — whole-text inference only
C.Type 2 — answer never present in the text
D.Type 1 — answer readily apparent from one or two consecutive sentences
Explanation: Type 1 comprehension items ask for information directly available in one or at most two consecutive sentences. Type 2 requires processing a paragraph; Type 3 requires understanding a feature of the text as a whole.
5Why does the External Assessment Specifications exclude 'requesting repetition and/or rephrasing' from examinable Criterion 1 aspects?
A.Because the audio is a fixed CD with three scheduled readings, not a live interlocutor
B.Because dictionaries replace the need to hear clearly
C.Because Criterion 1 is assessed only orally
D.Because students may replay any track freely on their own devices
Explanation: Listening is delivered via a self-running CD with three readings and fixed gaps. Students cannot ask a speaker to repeat or rephrase, so that classroom skill is not examined in the external listening paper.
6Spoken text: «Morgen fahre ich mit dem Zug nach Hobart, weil ich dort eine Prüfung habe.» Which English note best captures the reason for the trip?
A.She lives in Hobart and never leaves the city
B.She is travelling to Hobart by train for an exam
C.She is flying to Hobart for a holiday
D.She is cancelling an exam in Hobart
Explanation: «fahre … mit dem Zug» indicates train travel; «weil ich dort eine Prüfung habe» states the purpose—an exam in Hobart. Accurate listening notes should capture both mode and purpose.
7A dual-person listening text ends with Speaker B saying «Das können wir doch verschieben.» What is the best English gloss of B’s attitude?
A.B refuses ever to meet again
B.B insists on doing it immediately
C.B suggests postponing the plan
D.B asks for a dictionary definition
Explanation: «verschieben» means to postpone/reschedule. Recognising this verb is a typical Section A vocabulary-in-context demand.
8Which Section A text-type balance does TASC specify for the four listening texts?
A.Only songs and weather reports
B.Four single-person male monologues only
C.Four dual-person dialogues with no single speakers
D.Approximately equal single-person and dual-person texts (two of each), with mixed male/female voices
Explanation: Specifications require an approximately equal balance of single- and dual-person texts: two single-person (one male, one female) and two dual-person texts (one male and one female).
9During the 15-minute preparation time before the GRM315114 written exam begins, students may:
A.Take notes on provided note paper and highlight key words in the exam booklet
B.Start writing Section C essays in the answer booklet
C.Request that the listening audio be paused between items to allow extra writing time
D.Use a phone translation app for unknown words
Explanation: Preparation time allows notes on provided paper and highlighting in the booklet. Students must not begin the exam proper until the supervisor advises; the listening CD starts after preparation.
10A listening item asks what can be inferred about the speaker’s feelings though never stated in one sentence. This aligns best with which Appendix A type?
A.Type 1 — copying two consecutive words only
B.Type 3 — understanding a feature of the text as a whole
C.Type 2 — dictionary lookup of a single noun
D.A Criterion 4 extended writing task
Explanation: Type 3 items require understanding some feature of the text as a whole when the answer is not directly stated. Inference about attitude often fits this band.

TASC German Study Tips from Top Performers

1For Section A, practise note-taking across three hearings: gist on the first, detail on the second, and gap-filling on the third—answers must be in English.
2For Section B Part 2, rehearse short accurate German responses; Type 3 items need whole-text inference, not word-spotting.
3For Section C, memorise structural moves for each allowed text type (email/letter, diary, narrative, profile, conversation) and aim for ~250 words with clear paragraphing.
4For the oral, prepare Theme 1 elaborations (family, school, hobbies, daily routine) with follow-up opinions, not one-word answers.
