The Multicheck is getting closer and closer, and so is the excitement. Preparing for an exam is therefore essential. It is advisable to start studying for an exam sooner rather than later, as this will ensure you don't get stressed. The later you start, the more likely you are to get stressed, lose concentration and then be unable to study properly. We want to avoid that.
What is the ideal preparation process?
Ideally, preparation should be carried out in stages. First, you should get an overview of the topics that are likely to be asked. Then you should learn the basics of each topic and repeat them regularly. If you don't have a really good grasp of the basics, you shouldn't move on to more advanced topics just yet. However, once you understand the basics, you can start to delve deeper. In this phase, you will solve more difficult tasks and try to understand more complex theoretical aspects.
After that, you should repeat both easier and more difficult tasks and go through the theory part again. Repetition is very important because it allows the brain to see the information a second time and thus store it better.
Shortly before the Multicheck, it is a good idea to do a test simulation. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the exam situation and get a feel for the Multicheck. You can do this with a free demo version of the Multicheck from Gateway.one or with the exam simulation from studypeak, which is tailored to the Multicheck.
Typical pitfalls when preparing for the Multicheck
Preparing for the Multicheck can be overwhelming, especially if you start without a plan. Here are the most common mistakes you should avoid:
- Starting too late: Many people underestimate the scope of the tests and only start preparing a few days beforehand. This leaves little time to address specific weaknesses.
- Too much at once: If you try to do everything in one learning unit, from calculating percentages to German grammar, you risk losing track of what you're doing.
- No plan: Without a learning structure, it is difficult to recognize progress or repeat specific topics.
- No practice under test conditions: Multicheck is also a question of timing, which can only be improved by practicing within a realistic time frame.
- Distractions and lack of regularity: Irregular learning between TikTok and WhatsApp rarely leads to success.
