Preparing for the eGS exam
All learning content is relevant to the exam. Questions can be asked for each lesson. You will find detailed information on the exam procedure and a checklist for exam preparation in the “Organization and introduction” section of each eGS course. We have also created a demo exam for you so that you can familiarize yourself with the possible question types in advance.
If you are no stranger to exam anxiety, you will find guidelines and support here. If you have a disadvantage compensation, please let us know in good time before your exam so that we can take this into account.
Credit Points and Certificates
When registering for the exam, you can specify whether you would like your result to be graded or ungraded. Exception: the eGS "Arbeiten mit Microsoft Excel" is always ungraded. Your result will be automatically entered in PABO in the weeks following the examination date if you have registered there. Generally, this is the quickest and easiest way to receive your exam result.
If you are unable to register via PABO, we will be happy to issue a certificate of achievement after you have successfully passed the examination. Simply access your personal profile here on OnCourse and use the registration option "Forms for eGS-certificates". Certificates of achievement are issued and sent out once a month - please register in good time.
