A top-scoring German A (Lit) RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Center your question on literary elements such as themes, character development, or narrative techniques rather than on external factors like the author's biography or historical context.
Clearly mention the title and author of the literary work(s) you are analyzing to ensure the reader knows the focus of your research.
Frame your question in a way that invites analytical exploration, requiring interpretation and evaluation rather than simple summary or factual responses.
Narrow down your topic to a specific aspect of the work, such as a single theme or character relationship, to allow for in-depth analysis.
Ensure your research question is grammatically complete and clear, avoiding ambiguous language or unclear pronouns.
Focusing on external contexts like the author's life or historical background instead of the literary aspects of the text.
Creating overly broad questions that attempt to cover too many aspects of the work, making it difficult to conduct a detailed analysis.
Formulating questions that can be answered with a simple summary of the plot, rather than requiring deeper literary interpretation.

Failing to specify the title and author of the literary work, which can lead to confusion about the focus of the research.

Yes, analyzing a specific period can work well if it focuses on literary form and meaning rather than acting as a historical essay. Note DACH context if relevant to the text.
You should prioritize literary form and its effects—such as structure, imagery, voice, and motifs—within German texts. Questions that focus primarily on the author's biography tend to underperform.
