Strategy
Self-correction is useful in the Sproochentest because it shows awareness and helps you recover without stopping. If you notice a wrong word or awkward sentence, correct it quickly and continue. A short recovery is better than silence or a complete restart.
Use self-correction to recover when a word, verb, or sentence starts badly.
Exact exam context first, then preparation guidance.

No. Simple, clear, relevant sentences are usually safer than ambitious grammar that breaks the flow.
