1Ergänzen Sie: Die Lehrerin gibt ___ Kind ein Buch.
A.dem
B.das
C.den
D.der
Explanation: Geben takes a dative recipient (wem?) and an accusative object (wen/was?). Das Kind is the recipient, so the article is dative neuter dem. Ein Buch is the accusative object.
2Ergänzen Sie: ___ Schule in unserer Stadt ist sehr groß.
A.Den
B.Die
C.Der
D.Das
Explanation: Schule is feminine (die Schule) and is the subject, so it takes nominative feminine die.
3Ergänzen Sie: Ich sehe ___ Hund meiner Nachbarin im Park.
A.dem
B.die
C.den
D.der
Explanation: Hund is masculine and is the direct object of sehen, so the article is accusative masculine den.
4Ergänzen Sie: Das ist ___ Tasche. (possessive: ich)
A.mein
B.meinen
C.meinem
D.meine
Explanation: Tasche is feminine. After das ist the noun is nominative, so the possessive is nominative feminine meine.
5Ergänzen Sie: Gestern ___ ich mit dem Bus zur Schule gefahren.
A.bin
B.habe
C.wurde
D.war
Explanation: Fahren is a verb of motion and forms the Perfekt with sein. First person singular is bin ... gefahren.

D.werden
Explanation: Sehen forms the Perfekt with haben: wir haben ... gesehen.
7Ergänzen Sie: Ich ___ jeden Morgen um sieben Uhr auf.
A.stehe auf um
B.aufstand
C.stehe

Explanation: Aufstehen is separable. In a main clause the finite stem is in second position and the prefix auf goes to the end: Ich stehe ... auf.
8Ergänzen Sie: Sie kann sehr gut ___.
A.schwimmt
B.geschwommen
C.zu schwimmen
D.schwimmen
Explanation: Modal verbs are followed by a bare infinitive: kann schwimmen, without zu.

About the Bulgaria DZI German Exam

Bulgaria's DZI German (Държавен зрелостен изпит по немски език) is the statewide written German matriculation examination administered by МОН. Candidates sit a four-hour coded paper at CEFR B1.1 or B2 according to their upper-secondary pathway. The official exam assesses listening, reading, language use and written production in German and is converted from 0–100 points on the unified scale (Среден 3.00 at 30/100). This free English MCQ bank trains B1–B2 grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing-rubric knowledge before students practise the official German paper.

Assessment

Official written DZI German is a four-hour, anonymously marked paper in German at CEFR B1.1 or B2, depending on the candidate's school pathway (общообразователна подготовка vs профилирана подготовка). Published МОН materials show closed items, short free-response language/reading tasks, listening, and a writing production scored on a 0–100 point total. This 100-question bank is an English MCQ study adaptation of B1–B2 grammar, reading, vocabulary, cohesion and writing-rubric literacy — it does not simulate the official listening paper or constructed-response writing.

Time Limit

Four astronomical hours (четири астрономически часа) for the written sitting. Main May–June and August–September sessions follow the annual МОН DZI timetable (2026 second mandatory DZI window included German papers on 22 May 2026).

Passing Score

0–100 points converted on the unified НВО/ДЗИ scale. Среден 3.00 from 30/100; below 30 is Слаб 2. Not a Goethe 60% module cut score.

Exam Fee

No published exam fee for regular school candidates; DZI German is a state matriculation examination through the school pathway. External or competency-validation sittings, if any, are school/authority-specific and not a published German-subject fee. (Министерство на образованието и науката (МОН) — Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria)

Bulgaria DZI German Study Tips from Top Performers

1Drill the four cases with geben, helfen, warten auf and two-way prepositions until article choice is automatic.
2Practise verb-final order after weil, dass, obwohl, nachdem and relative pronouns — a high-frequency DZI language-use error.
3At B2, contrast Vorgangspassiv (wird gebaut) with Zustandspassiv (ist gebaut) and Konjunktiv II for advice and unreal conditions.
4For writing, learn Sie vs du, formal openings/closings, and a clear Stellungnahme structure (position – reasons – example – conclusion).
5After MCQ concept work, sit timed official-style German reading and writing from МОН past papers — MCQs build recognition, not the four-hour production skill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official Bulgaria DZI German exam a multiple-choice test?

No. The official paper is a four-hour written German examination with listening, reading, language-use and writing tasks. Closed items appear, but so do short constructed responses and a writing production. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation — not an official format simulation.

Which CEFR levels are used for DZI German?

МОН publishes DZI German papers at more than one CEFR level. This bank targets B1.1 and B2, the levels tied to general (ООП) versus profiled (ПП / language-gymnasium) upper-secondary pathways. Candidates sit the level assigned to their programme.

What is the pass mark?

The paper is scored 0–100 points. On the unified НВО/ДЗИ scale, Среден 3.00 starts at 30/100. Below 30 remains Слаб 2. This is not a Goethe-Institut 60% per-module pass.

How long is the exam and how is it marked?

The written sitting lasts four astronomical hours. Scripts are coded for anonymous marking by МОН-appointed assessors.

Is there an exam fee?

No published exam fee applies to regular school candidates; DZI German is a state matriculation examination. External or validation sittings, where they exist, follow school/authority instructions and are not a published German-subject fee.
