About the PSEB Class 12 German Exam

Punjab PSEB Senior Secondary German is the Class 12 elective foreign-language paper (subject code 024) under the Punjab School Education Board. It assesses A2-oriented German skills using the prescribed Hueber course Tangram aktuell 2 (Kursbuch + Arbeitsbuch, Niveau A2/1): applied grammar (articles, cases including genitive basics, verb tenses, modals, word order, prepositions, adjective endings, pronouns), theme vocabulary (housing, travel, work, health, media, daily life), reading of unseen texts, official letter and paragraph writing, and oral INA (textbook reading and self-introduction). Official assessment is Theory 80 + project work/INA 20 = 100 with a German-medium mixed written paper (not pure MCQ). Pass requires 33% separately and in aggregate per the Scheme of Studies. Fees and exact blueprints are notified by PSEB on pseb.ac.in. The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation with English explanations; German forms and short phrases appear in stems and options when testing skill. They are not a full simulation of the official German-medium paper, writing tasks, or oral INA, and do not replace official writing or speaking practice.

Exam sponsor: Punjab School Education Board (PSEB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official PSEB Senior Secondary German (subject code 024) is assessed as Theory 80 + project work/INA 20 = 100.

PSEB Class 12 German: Suggested Study Strategy

1Practise official letters (~40 words) and paragraphs (~100 words) in German every week — MCQs alone will not prepare the writing sections.
2Drill case with prepositions daily: mit + dative, für + accusative, wegen/trotz/während + genitive, and wo?/wohin? with two-way prepositions.
3For Perfekt, memorise which common verbs take sein (gehen, fahren, kommen, ankommen) versus haben.
4Rehearse Vorstellung (name, age, profession, place of living, family) aloud for the 10-mark INA self-introduction.
5On unseen passages, underline question keywords first, then scan the German text for matching detail before writing answers in German.
