In the case of a poor grade in a non-written subject, a grade of at least \u201csatisfactory\u201d in a non-written subject is sufficient.

The German grade is composed of the DaF grade (50%) and the regular German lessons (50%). Grades are rounded up. Example: a 2 in DaF and a 5 in regular German results in an average is 3.5 so the final grade would be a 4. The German grade is always the main focus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>
