ZOP

ZOP stands for Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung and is set at level C2 – the highest level on the European scale.

Students who pass the exam will have a knowledge of the language similar to that of a native speaker.  They will normally have had between 1000 and 1500 hours of tuition.

Passing this exam opens up more opportunities, one example being the ability to study at a German University.

The Goethe Institute has self-study materials for ZOP on their website.
