Abstract

This article investigates the challenges inherent within the content (structure), word chunks, and grammar in the written part of the German language university entrance exam (Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang, DSH) taken by prospective students whose native languages are not German. The author analyses samples supplied by two groups of candidates: test takers who have attended a DSH preparatory
course and test takers who have not. The results of her analysis allow her to develop suggestions for modifications to the content format of the DSH preparatory course.
