Placement tests will be carried out on the special test instance of Exam-Moodle from home. The corresponding Exam-Moodle course "Einstufungen WiSe 2024/25" is only available on the respective test day and is accessible without a password.

The placement tests have a different duration depending on the language (see here). However, regardless of the individual test duration, the procedure closes for all tests at the same time, for example on 05 September at 4 pm. This means that a test that is started on 05 September at 3:40 p.m., for example, cannot be completed. Please allow enough time to complete the test.
