The National German Exam is administered each year to over 26,500 high school students of German. The Exam, now in its 57th year, provides individual diagnostic feedback, rewards students through an extensive regional and national prize program, and creates a sense of accomplishment. Exam results provide teachers a means of comparing students in all regions of the country, as well as programmatic data provided to help inform curricular decisions.

The Exam is delivered in electronic format and has four levels, each with the same structure and content. The Level 2, 3, and 4 Exam is administered in the winter so qualifying students in the 90th percentile can apply for the AATG/PAD Study Trip Awards, a four-week study trip program to Germany. Students taking the Level 1 Exam have not had the requisite two years of language instruction to qualify for the AATG/PAD Study Trip Awards, which allows schools to administer the Level 1 Exam in the spring.

The Exam period for the Level 2, 3, and 4 Exams is December 1, 2016 to February 1, 2017 and registration begins October 1, 2016. The Exam period for Level 1 Exams is April 1 to May 1, 2017 and registration begins February 1, 2017.
