May 2025 Edexcel: A Level German 9GN0/01 Paper 1 – Listening, Reading and
Translation – Merged Question Paper & Mark Scheme



Exam Resource Summary
This May 2025 Edexcel A Level German 9GN0/01 document merges the official question paper and
mark scheme for Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Translation. It assesses candidates’ comprehension of
spoken German across a variety of contexts (Section A), their ability to understand and respond in
German to written texts (Section B), and to translate an unseen passage from German into English
(Section C) — all drawing on vocabulary and structures across the course themes. The merged format
gives students clear insight into examiner expectations, mark allocation, and effective strategies for
listening, reading and translation. An essential resource for thorough preparation for the 2025 Edexcel A
Level German Paper 1 examination.
