It targets common learner errors such as confusing lernen and studieren, wrong verb-noun collocations (eine Entscheidung treffen, ein Referat halten, eine Prüfung bestehen) and mixing up related words like Leiter and Leitung. As follow-up, ask learners to write a short text about their own job or studies using at least ten words from the test.
