How can I take part in the exam?

2.) Exam registrations are only possible with an active account - simply use your existing Stud.IP account and use Shibboleth to log in

3.) Access "Exam registration" in the area of your personal profile. There, you will find the entire exam schedule. Exam dates that are relevant for you are clearly marked as eGS exams. Select your preferred exam date and register yourself independently.

4.) Once you have successfully registered, you will find your booking under "My Exam Registrations" and have a reserved seat at the test centre

5.) Register via PABO, if your departments supports registration

Changed your mind? No worries - you are able to register, de-register or change your exam selection up to one week before the exam. However, after this deadline participation is no longer possible. Please, simply register for a subsequent date.

Attention: No participation without registration!

Preparing for the eGS exam

You will find a checklist for exam preparation in the first chapter of each eGS course. In order for you to get accustomed to the various types of questions, you are welcome to use our demo exam.

Credit Points and Certificates

When registering for the exam, you can specify whether you would like your result to be graded or ungraded.  Only the eGS "Working with 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 way to receive your exam result.

If you are unable to register via PABO, we will be happy to issue you with 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 at most once a month - please register in good time.

If you are a student of the Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies (“Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft” ) and are taking Module 4 Business Administration, please indicate the ZeMKI for the forwarding.
