About one week prior to the exam participants will receive an electronic exam confirmation in their email that contains specific details regarding time and place of the exam. Please print this confirmation and bring it on exam day along with your passport or ID-card (original documents only). Without identifying documents exam participation will have to be denied.
Results and grades of “Start Deutsch 1“ exam can be usually obtained on the afternoon of the working day following the exam date. Results and grades of the “Goethe-Zertifikat A2” exam can be usually obtained within 5 working days following the exam date. B1, B2, C1 exams take a processing time of about 15 work days, C2 takes 20 work days, before results and grades will be released anonymously on the website of the SLZ where participants identify their data through their examinee’s number http://shanghai.goetheslz.com/en/exam-results.
Goethe-Certificates will be issued within 3 work days after the disclosure of the results. Certificates can be personally obtained during office hours in Julu Lu 628, providing adequate identification, such as passport or ID. Third parties collecting certificates on behalf of the examinee need to produce a copy of that person’s passport or ID in order to receive the certificate. Adequate identification such as a passport or ID-Card of the third parties needs to be provided as well.
Through a courier service, certificates can also be delivered to examinees’ homes at the recipients’ expenses. The appropriate forms will be provided on exam day or at the Goethe-Jinchuang SLZ reception desk in Julu Lu 628. All Goethe certificates (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2) that have been obtained at the Shanghai examination centre will be sent off two weeks after the results and grades have been released.
The “Right to Inspect” the exam and “Appeals” against the results of the exam or against the administration of the exam are regulated by paragraphs 20 and 21 of the exam guidelines of the Goethe-Institute. Further questions regarding inspections and/or appeals can be directly addressed to Goethe-Jinchuang via email or phone: sh@goetheslz.com Tel.: 021- 62897762

Cancellations and Suspensions
In principle, candidates are not allowed to withdraw or postpone the examination after successful payment.
The examination office reserves the right to cancel or change the examination due to force majeure. Cancellations or changes of examination dates might occur on very short notice, in the worst case scenario on the day of the examination. Participants know and accept this risk.
