Free Goethe-Zertifikat B1 mock exam (Modelltest), online

This is a complete Goethe-Zertifikat B1 mock exam in the real exam format — every part of all four modules, each scored against the real 60% pass line. Start the reading and listening parts now, with no account; writing and speaking ask you to sign up first, because a person-graded mark costs us something to produce.

Do it in one sitting or one part at a time — your progress is kept. Goethe grades each module on its own, so when you have sat all four you see exactly which module needs work.

Every part of the mock exam

How the mock exam is built

The Goethe-Zertifikat B1 is four separate modules — Lesen, Hören, Schreiben and Sprechen — that you can even sit on different days. This mock exam mirrors all four: the same parts, the same task types, and the same replay rules in listening (some texts play twice, others once).

How it is scored

Each module passes on its own at 60%. There is no compensation between modules — a strong Lesen cannot make up for a weak Schreiben — which is why the result names the exact module to work on.
