T.C. Williams seniors Paul Scheland and Paula Filios placed first and third respectively on the highest level of the National German Exam. They were two of 280 students who sat for the exam in the state. Very competitive, it measures listening and reading proficiency, knowledge of vocabulary, and language structures. The four levels of the exam range from novice to advanced. One hundred twenty T.C. students took the very competitive exam, developed by the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG). Regarding their futures, Paul and Paula say they both aspire to live and work in Germany.
Congratulations to both of them!
