German as Foreign Language Course

[u/__deadpoet__]

I am coming to ETHZ this fall semester. I am planning to take the German as foreign language course of UZH. I took the placement test, but got just shy of A2.1 recommendation. I am confused whether to take A2.1 or A1.2.

What do they teach in A1.2? Can I just pick it up on the go as I do A2.1?
