WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Unit 1 family terms, from your own notes
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This is a text splitter rather than a tutor. It turns pasted lines into cards by rule, and a gap in the paste is a gap in the deck.
Structural nouns are what lift an answer
Die Patchworkfamilie, der Haushalt, das Mehrgenerationenhaus, die Wohngemeinschaft: this theme runs on nouns naming an arrangement rather than describing a mood. An answer saying families matter scores below one that names a blended household and says what it changes about a Tuesday evening. Build the list around structures and roles, because the prompts are assembled from those same words.
Three countries, and the divergence is examinable
Germany, Austria and Switzerland share a language and diverge on family policy, housing cost and rural depopulation. A candidate who can set a Swiss cantonal arrangement against a German federal one has something to say when an unscripted question lands, which is the only currency the revised speaking section accepts.
Policy vocabulary outweighs sentiment
Elternzeit, Elterngeld, Kita-Platz, Pflegeversicherung. These are the terms German media uses when it argues about families, and parental leave is the most useful because it is contested: generous by international standards and still fought over on gender lines. A contested term hands you something to concede and then answer.
The spoken tasks changed, so revision changes
The cultural comparison and the simulated conversation are withdrawn. Under the 2026-27 revision the speaking score is a Course Project presented in three minutes and defended through four recorded questions of forty seconds each. Family material is no longer performed once. It has to survive questioning, which rewards depth on two examples over breadth across ten.
The argumentative essay still wants all three sources
Fifty five minutes, an article, a graphic and an audio report played twice, and one position carried across them. On this theme the sources usually disagree about whether a policy helps. Name each as you use it, laut der ersten Quelle, die Grafik zeigt, im Hoerbericht heisst es, because the rubric counts presence before it weighs elegance.
What to photograph for Familie und Gemeinschaft
Photograph policy terms with their definitions, the three country contrasts as pairs, and any statistic you intend to quote with its year attached. Lines written as term colon definition become questions; loose sentences become gap prompts. What never reaches your notes never reaches the outline you file in April.

What does AP German Unit 1 cover?
Familie und Gemeinschaft: household structures, generations, housing and belonging across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Is the cultural comparison still on the AP German exam?
No. From May 2027 the spoken score is a Course Project presentation worth twenty percent and a Project Q&A worth fifteen percent.
Which policy terms are worth memorising?
Elternzeit, Elterngeld, Kita-Platz and Pflegeversicherung. They appear in real German argument about families, which is where exam sources come from.
Why bring Austria and Switzerland in?
They differ from Germany on housing, family policy and rural depopulation, and a real contrast survives a follow-up question better than a general claim.
How many sources does the essay use?
Three: an article, a graphic and an audio source played twice, inside fifty five minutes.
Is there an AP German Unit 1 practice test on this page?
There is a generator. Paste your notes and it returns questions and cards; it splits text by rule rather than teaching the unit.
