The preparation is divided into two courses
Basis of the preparation course
In the initial phase of the preparatory course, the fundamental topics are thoroughly explored in order to achieve the highest level of performance. The curriculum covers core competencies in German and mathematics. In German, the focus is on essay structure and grammatical knowledge, particularly in word and sentence syntax. Mathematics covers a range of basic skills: arithmetic, algebra, dealing with quantities and functions, probability tasks, statistics, and geometry. Students begin solving sample exam questions early on to ensure that they have mastered these skills.
Advanced preparation and exam simulation
The second part of the course delves deeper into the different types of exam questions and familiarizes participants with various problem-solving strategies and the challenges associated with each type of question. The material is constantly reviewed and practiced, with learning progress being closely monitored and evaluated. A mock exam is conducted under timed and realistic conditions to prepare students for the actual exam environment. This simulation is corrected, graded, and provided with written feedback. Finally, the results of the IMS exam simulation are discussed personally with an instructor who provides customized guidance and support.
