8.4 Print and handwritten test

The written vocabulary test is not completed directly in the app. Instead, DIKIWI generates a PDF test, which is first printed and then completed by hand. This creates a classic paper-based vocabulary test.

Tip for following along: The video consists of two parts. First, it shows how to generate and print the PDF. Second, it demonstrates how to complete the vocabulary test step by step.

This function is especially suitable for structured self-learning and traditional learning assessments in class or at home. The digital preparation combined with printing brings together the advantages of the app and a handwritten test format.
