ZOP
ZOP stands for Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung and is set at level C2 - the highest level on the European scale.
Students who pass the exam will have a knowledge of the language similar to that of a native speaker. They will normally have had between 1000 and 1500 hours of tuition.
Passing this exam opens up more opportunities, one example being the ability to study at a German University.
The Goethe Institute has self-study materials for ZOP on their website.
