How I passed my B2 Pflege Exam?

I took my b2 Pflege Exam last September 2020 in Intermed Ortigas, Manila. It was a two-day exam. First part was Hearing, Listening, Knowledge of the linguistic structure (Hören/Lesen/Sprachbau) and Writing. On the second day was the Speaking part. The exam started at 9a.m. in the morning. I think we finished at around lunchtime, can’t recall exactly how many hours did it take. After the first part, we had draw lots in order to know what time will be go back for the speaking part the next day. So, that is by partner. They allot an hour for a set of examinees for the speaking part. As far as I can r
emember, 20 minutes for the preparation before you take the hot seat. The speaking part is composed of three part which are Bildbeschreibung where in you will be given a picture to describe, Kurzvortrag where you need to present a topic(you can choose and write bullets already during the preparation time) and Diskussion where in you will discuss a topic with your partner.

1. Be early. I remember we were the first ones to arrive at the testing center that time.

2. Choose a comfortable seat. Some say sitting close to the speaker is of an advantage too.

3. Use the elimination technique. When you did not fully understand the question, remove the ones which is not a possible answer.

4. Use your instinct. Some questions have two possible answers, always go for your first choice.

5. Don’t look on the clock. Relax and take time to read the questions well. The time allotted is enough.

6. Some examinees finish the exam fast. Ignore them. This will surely put pressure on you. But stay focus. As long as the examiner did not tell you yet to pass the test sheet that means you still have time.

7. During the writing part, write your sentences legibly. 120-150 words would suffice. Watch out for your grammar because every mistake means minus points. Make it simple and direct.

8. For the speaking part, it is very important to be confident. Don’t be too anxious. Prove them you can express yourself and you can understand the German language.

9. Inhale and Exhale. This can help you lessen your anxiety. Don’t look at the examiners as villains, instead look at them as your mentors. They are very nice and considerate anyway.

10. Pray, Pray and Pray. Lift everything to God. He had seen all your sleepless nights, tears and knew what your heart desires. He will be with you. Trust His promises.
