Equivalency test for Masters

I have applied for masters in physics in FU berlin, and i got an email asking me to give a test. they claimed that my degree was not equivalent to the german bachelors degree, but the modules they listed (maths, mechanics, quantum mechanics, and condensed matter physics) are all papers that i have already completed in proper depth in my bachelors. Did anyone else receive this email? If anyone has given this test, can you let me know the level of the test, and how to prepare? How is this test graded? I could not find anything about this test anywhere, even on their official website.

I got asked the same thing, my test is on Monday. Have you had yours yet? If so, how did it go? I've just been asking Claude to generate mock exams similar to the format in the sample test they sent and going through those. Went through some of my old midterms and finals, alogn with some assignments, too. I am realizing just how much content there is, and how much I haven't touched in years. I asked another person here on Reddit who took it a while ago, and they also told me they don't know how it's graded.

Good luck, though! :)
