Bright Deutsch: don't forget!

Bright Deutsch is carried out online, it lasts 45 to 60 minutes. It is divided into two parts assessing two distinct areas of skills. The first part of Bright Deutsch (Bright Deutsch Reading) deals with grammar, vocabulary and language structure. The second part (the Bright Deutsch Listening) assesses the candidate's oral comprehension. Each of these two sections contain 60 questions, presented in the form of a multiple choice question.

Bright Reading : 30 minutes

This first part of Bright Deutsch is devoted to written comprehension. We assess your level of grammar, your syntax and the richness of your vocabulary in German here, through several questions. Generally speaking, the Bright Reading exercises include filling the gap sentences, which need to be completed with 4 choices selectively. The sentences have various levels of complexity, since the aim is to assess all candidate profiles, regardless of their basic level.

Bright Reading has a total of 60 multiple choice questions and lasts approximately 30 minutes. Here are a few examples :

Example 1 :

Der kleine Junge ___ gerne schon so stark wie die großen Jungs.

  • A. wären
  • B. wäre
  • C. wärst
  • D. wäret

Correct response and explanations : The correct answer is (B) because it is the subjunctive 2 of the third person in the singular. (A), (C) and (D) relate to other cases.

Example 2 :

Dieses Jahr möchte der Chef eine ____ Abwicklung der Bestellvorgänge erreichen als im Vorjahr.

  • A. schnelle
  • B. schnellere
  • C. schnelles
  • D. schnellen

Correct response and explanations : The correct answer is (B) because it is the second degree of comparison of the adjective, which adapts to the noun in the singular. (A), (C) and (D) relate to other cases.

Example 3 :

Nach dem geplatzten Deal war der Bereichsleiter etwas ausfallend, ____ er sich auf jeden Fall entschuldigen sollte.

  • A. womit
  • B. wofür
  • C. wobei
  • D. wovon

Correct response and explanations : The correct answer is (B) because it is a linking adverb. (A), (C) and (D) relate to other cases.

Bright Listening : 30 minutes

In this second section of Bright Deutsch, it is about the candidate’s ability to understand Germany orally which is tested. Here, you have to listen to a sentence (which you can be replayed as many times as you want) and answer the corresponding question with 3 choices to choose from. The Bright Listening section contains a total of 60 questions.

To help you better understand the exercise, here are a few examples:

You need to choose between these three choices:

  • A. In jedem Fall bleiben sie Nummer eins.

  • C. Sie werden nie wieder Nummer eins sein.

Correct response and explanations : The correct answer is (B). (A) means this is bound to happen. (C) implies that this will never happen.

What is the time frame for Bright Deutsch ?

Unlike many other language exams, Bright doesn't make candidates wait for long. Whether it’s registration or accessing results, the waiting time is minimal or almost non-existent (amounting to only a few minutes).

Bright Language : a “top secret” score calculation

This is where the main gray area lies, when it comes to the Bright tests as the details of the score calculation cannot be disclosed. In accordance with the policy of this review, we can therefore only pass on some essential information about the Bright Deutsch score. These are also available on the website of the Bright Language organization .

For the Bright Deutsch test, scores vary from 0 to 5. The score 0 corresponds to a beginner level and 5 to that of a bilingual. The results of this test are in equivalence with the A1-C2 levels established by the CEFR, which makes their interpretation all the more easier.

Our advise to get a good score on the Bright Deutsch

The key to getting a good score at Bright Deutsch? Good preparation! We advise you to revise your grammar, enrich your vocabulary and practice your written and oral comprehension several weeks before the D-day. To do so, various means remain at your disposal: online training on the GlobalExam platform, exam annals, films and books in German, German radio and TV, creation of revision sheets, etc. We can also give you some advice to better understand the two sections of the test and avoid melting down on the day of the exam. :

  • For the Bright Deutsch Reading : read each sentence by successively trying each of the options that are given. Then proceed by elimination to give your answer. Even if you are not sure, always answer something to get a chance and obtain points, an absence of an answer translates to a score of 0 for the question. Manage your time properly and take no more than 30 seconds per sentence.
  • For the Bright Deutsch Listening : quickly find the keywords you heard in the sentence, in order to quickly understand the overall context, without pondering on any words you do not know. You will also save time by responding through an elimination process. Last but not least, always answer each question, even if you are not sure of the answer. There are no negative points in the score calculation of Bright Deutsch, but an unanswered question is equal to 0. Also pay attention to the timing and do not spend more than 30 seconds on each question. After 60 seconds of no response, the software automatically goes to the next sentence.

If you wish to register for the Bright Deutsch, you will need to go through an organization who has an agent contract with Bright Language. There are many centers all around the globe such as France, USA, Canada etc. You can find the list of centers on the official BRIGHT website. Registration can be carried out online, through phone or directly by going to one of these approved centers.

To be able to pass the Bright Deutsch, you have to pay between 80 and 120 euros depending on the center, all taxes included. The means of payment also vary according to the establishments organizing the test, but they do generally include bank cards, transfers, checks, Paypal payments.

Right after registration, the candidate is invited to take the test in the same breath. Once the test is over, the person obtains the result in a few minutes. This result remains valid for a period of two years.

Bright Deutsch is a standardized exam and therefore is made up of a standard structure, so it is necessary to become familiar with it.
