The main aim of this resource is to exemplify standards of Cambridge International AS Level German Language, Paper 4 Speaking Test, and show how different levels of candidates' performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject's curriculum and assessment objectives. 

Candidate responses have been selected from the June 2025 series to exemplify a range of answers. 

The recording of each Speaking Test is followed by moderator comments on where and why marks were awarded or omitted, followed by comments on how the answer could have been improved. In this way, it is possible for you to understand what candidates have done to gain their marks and what they could do to improve their answers. Common mistakes and misconceptions are also commented on for the whole test. 

The moderator comments, for all three levels of candidates' performance, can also be found below for you to download and print. 

Please note: Information about the candidate and centre has been removed from the recording to protect the identity of the candidate and the teacher/examiner. The five minute preparation time is included as teacher/examiners must not stop the recording for the preparation time and must limit this to 5 minutes exactly.
