Exam strategies and precise text comprehension – basics
How it works
Exam strategies help you understand tasks correctly, identify relevant passages and formulate answers in a structured way. Precise text comprehension means grasping the information, connections and intentions of a text exactly. This includes recognizing key words, distinguishing between main and secondary statements, and the ability to reproduce textual statements in your own words and avoid misunderstandings.
Note
Read the task and text carefully, mark key terms, distinguish between explicit and implicit information and check whether your answer fits the question exactly.

An example
The text contains the sentences ‹Die Sonne schien warm auf das Feld› and ‹Die Arbeiter schwitzten bei der Ernte›. Which information is the direct main statement of the second sentence?
The main statement is: ‹Die Arbeiter schwitzten bei der Ernte.› Explanation: This is the direct statement of the second sentence. From ‹Die Sonne schien warm auf das Feld› one can additionally infer that heat played a role, but this cause does not belong to the literal main statement of ‹Die Arbeiter schwitzten bei der Ernte›.
