Exam words: Beispiel, Aufgabe, Antwort & Pause

The nouns printed on every exam page:

• das Beispiel, -e — the example, marked 0 and already solved
• die Aufgabe, -n — the task: what you must do
• die Antwort, -en — the answer: what you mark or write
• die Pause, -n — a short break; you’ll hear the word in the Hören instructions

Plus der Punkt, -e — the point. In Goethe A1 reading and listening, each correct answer earns one raw point. Writing and speaking use their own marking criteria.
