Practice Papers for AS & A Level AQA German

2016 Specification:
AQA

Comprehensive practice for the 2016 AQA specifications:

Each resource has three full practice papers that mirror the AQA sample assessment materials. All practice papers meet the requirements of the 2016 specifications and are followed by mark schemes which closely match those used by the exam board.

Excellent... One of the best ZigZag resources for German

Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Writing

  • Three full practice papers
  • Every specification topic is covered (AS: Themes 1 and 2; A Level: Themes 3 and 4), ensuring that students are familiar with questions on a wide range of issues
  • Interesting and up-to-date texts and recordings by native speakers will stimulate students and encourage them to engage with the material
  • All activity, text and transcript types are covered – students will be completely familiar with the exam format

Clearly a well-researched resource which both reflects the demands of the new AS specification and also gives great insights into contemporary German culture

What do teachers say about this resource? (7883)

This is an excellent resource. One of the best ZigZag resources for German. It does exactly what it promises to do, namely preparing students for their AS examination. The topics are well chosen, mimicking the specification, as is the layout of the activities.

H Oberg, Head of German and Peer Reviewer

Very useful for preparing examination skills at the end of the lower sixth A Level course.

Caroline Morris, Head of German and Customer

This is an excellent resource that challenges students and provides texts and exercises of very high quality. The content has been prepared very carefully and includes lots of relevant vocabulary and requires students to understand and use a large variety of grammar.

What do teachers say about this resource? (8171)

My students found the activities very useful for revision. The layout is very clear. The activities are directly aimed at promoting key skills and knowledge. The tasks are accessible and help them to build up their knowledge bit by bit.

There are very few resources available for A-level German. This resource helps provide additional revision materials for students.

This resource really helped me with my planning. The activities are directly applicable to the A-level requirements

F Holloway, Teacher & Customer

Excellent for pupil revision.

C Morris, Head of German and Customer

I particularly like how close the resource mirrors the specification papers. This enables students to get used to the format of the different exercises before their final exam. I feel that the level of the language and the vocabulary used is also very appropriate and makes the resource very useful.

H Oberg, Head of German and Peer Reviewer

Great resource with lots of variety of all three skills. The difficulty of the texts is also very appropriate especially with the variety of tenses.

This is clearly a well-researched resource which both reflects the demands of the new AS specification and also gives great insights into contemporary German culture. Lots of time has clearly been invested into compiling a wide variety of cards which are interesting in themselves and will no doubt lead to many fruitful discussions.

A Watson, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

I think this resource is absolutely fantastic and all contents are of very high quality. The topics are very engaging and I am sure that students will love practicing with these stimulus cards.

F Reichmann, German Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Great!!! Lots of examples for all different topics with appropriate questions – from very detailed about the card to general knowledge and with extra questions at the end.

L Dunato-Davis, Teacher, Examiner and Peer Reviewer

What do teachers say about this resource? (8596)

A really sound resource which fits extremely well with the specification and brings up a number of interesting and pertinent issues which will prepare students extremely well for whatever their real speaking exam holds in store! Pictures are extremely well-chosen to illuminate the chosen issues and cherry-picked information is well-chosen and well-phrased.
