German used in driving exam

Transportation, Travel and Trips

I’ve passed the theory exam and had around 30h driving lessons.
My road test is around the end of November, and I understand the examiner will only speak German.

During my driving lessons, my instructor speaks both English and German, so I understand some German about directions, turn, etc. But as my German level is very basic (A1-), I think I need to prepare specifically for the test.

I found this thread years ago, but will appreciate if there’re more focused resource about this topic

Is there any specific resource that I can use to prepare for the exam?
(For instance, audio from map navigator, etc.)

Thank you.

You will not be allowed to use any device or any software/navigator.

You should be okay as they are only few words like left, right, turn around, exit from round about.

Get your instructor to do a mock test in German?

Or, find out if you can have a translator in the car. My husband was a driving instructor in the UK, and non-english speakers could take someone to translate.

I did my test in German, not in this country though. My German was not great at the time.

The only instructions given, were 2nd left, 3rd right, straight through the lights and so on.

I think Island Monkey has the right idea, do a mock test first.

I'll do one 2 weeks before the exam. But want to prepare for it first.

I don't think a translator is allowed...

I'm thinking of exporting the audio from a map navigator so that I can get used to the command in German.

The instructor may speak Swiss German dialect, well, one of them. Or be foreign and have a strong accent. My instructor was from Marseilles (live in French speaking part). When I had to re-take my licence in London (no exhange possible in those days), the Examiner had a very strong Geordie accent I had never heard before! Had to keep asking him to repeat slowly. LOL - but I passed (in London, 1971).
