Niedersächsisches Studienkolleg (Leibniz Universität Hannover)
For the T-Kurs at Niedersächsisches Studienkolleg (Leibniz Universität Hannover), the entrance test (Aufnahmeprüfung) is: German (C-Test) and Math. Here is what the official pages say, and what they leave out.
German (C-Test) · Not published by the Kolleg
C-Test for all applicants.
Math · Not published by the Kolleg
Basic arithmetic, powers and roots, algebra, linear and quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, basic geometry and graphing functions. No calculator.
Generated by the same engine as the Kollego course, at a level close to the entrance math. Pick an answer in your head, then open the solution.
1. Use (x + 4)² = x² + 8x + 16 to evaluate it at x = 1.
Answer: 25
(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a².
1² + 8·1 + 16 = 1 + 8 + 16 = 25.
2. Solve for x: √(3x + 7) = 4
Answer: 3
Square both sides to remove the root, then isolate x. Since the right side is already ≥ 0 here, squaring introduces no extraneous root, but always check that the expression under the root is ≥ 0 for your solution.
Square both sides: 3x + 7 = 4² = 16. x = (16 − 7) / 3 = 3. Check: 3(3) + 7 = 16 = 4², and √16 = 4 ✓.
3. What is the sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with 7 sides?
Answer: 900
Sum of interior angles of an n-gon = (n − 2) × 180°.
(7 − 2) × 180 = 900.

Passing does not by itself give you a place. You cannot apply to the Kolleg directly: you apply to a university in Lower Saxony, which registers you for the test.
