SHEET 02 · ÖSD A1

Hören: das Notizblatt

hören und notieren — the öSD signature task worth 10 points

Aufgabe 2 is the task no other A1 exam has: ONE message, heard TWICE, and you fill a notepad (Was / Wann / Uhrzeit / Wo / Telefonnummer). 5 correct lines = 10 points. The two letter-perfect lines (phone number, spelled address) are all-or-nothing: one wrong digit = 0 for the line. This sheet trains exactly that.

THE RULES — AND WHERE THE EXAM TESTS THEM

  • First pass: catch WHAT KIND of info each line wants

    Wann → day or date · Uhrzeit → time · Wo → place · Telefonnummer → digits

    EXAM:Read the notepad labels in the 30-second prep window BEFORE the text starts.

  • Second pass is for VERIFICATION, not discovery

    „Ich wiederhole“-moments confirm what you wrote

    EXAM:The text plays twice — write a rough answer first, verify on pass two.

  • Phone numbers: write digits AS YOU HEAR them, grouped

    „null – sechs – sechs – vier“ → 0664

    EXAM:Austrian numbers often start 0664/0676 (mobile); German 0176/0172; Swiss 076/079.

  • Addresses are usually SPELLED OUT

    „B-E-R-N-E-R-gasse 12“

    EXAM:The Modellsatz text spells the street name letter by letter — follow the letters, not the sound.

  • uhrzeit: expect quarter expressions

    „Viertel nach acht“ = 8.15, „halb neun“ = 8.30

    EXAM:The Notizblatt line is exact: write 8.15 Uhr, not „nach acht“.

  • Day AND date can both appear

    „am Dienstag, dem 12. Mai“

    EXAM:Write one — the line usually accepts either, but know both forms.

MINI-DRILL — COVER THE ANSWERS FIRST

  • You hear „null – eins – sieben – sechs – zwei – zwei – null – vier – eins“. Write the number.

    0176 22041 — digit by digit, grouped as spoken

  • You hear „Viertel vor elf“. What do you write?

    10.45 Uhr

  • You hear „FReitagnachmittag um drei“. Wann + Uhrzeit lines?

    Wann: Freitag · Uhrzeit: um 15 Uhr

  • You hear „Dachauerstraße — D-A-C-H-A-U-E-R, Nummer 27“. Write the line.

    Dachauerstraße 27

THE TRAPS — WHERE POINTS DIE

  • !Copying a HALF-heard number: one wrong digit kills the whole line (all-or-nothing rule). If unsure between two digits, wait — pass two decides.
  • !Writing the DECOY time: öSD texts often mention two times („Termin um 10, bitte um 9.30 da sein“). Match the label's intent: which line asks for the Termin, which for Ankunft.
  • !Writing words where digits belong („null vier…“) — digits are safer and faster; the grader accepts either but digits prevent spelling slips.
