The CBT format looks like this

I just picked up the Official Study guide today and I see what you said. It's good to visualize the format before the test, it looks like the letters per the answers won't even be verbalized or even highlighted during the reading of the answers. This seems unusually hard, even fluent people can lose focus! any person can.

This is just as I feared it would be, no time for reflection, thought or a brain fart if you don't get the statement for any reason. The fact that it's A through D(four choices) and not five (A through E) perhaps is a testament to how much harder it is. Also, completely ignore the percentages in the study guides, the questions are picked at random at the time of test.

What I'd really like to find is someone who is actually a non-native speaker of German, never lived there, who's actually passed the test. Based so far on my research, no such person exists, but I'm going to call some testing centers in my area Tuesday and see what they say in regards to test difficulty opinion. They are going to be the best source for feedback as they are administering the tests and talking to the students about their performance. I'll post my findings here then, as I'm sure a lot of people feel the German test is mysterious. Although I think the study guide's college board provides are not sufficient to study for the exam, and they state this explicitly in the book if you read it, they do give vital pictures and details about the exam and details and this is especially important with the foreign language test.
