German B1 Exam Practice Online
Practise for the telc B1 exam with original mock exams under real timing, your points for every section, and a clear study path, all in English.
Who is this for?
It's for English-speaking learners in Germany preparing for telc B1, most of them for citizenship or a settlement permit. If you've learned German in classes or apps but never practised the exam itself, under its time limits and with its task types, this is the part that's missing.
Instructions and explanations in English. German only where the exam uses it.

Fit structured exam practice around your job.
What you can practise
You can practise the whole written exam: the three reading parts, both Sprachbausteine gap-fills, the three listening parts with audio and the 30-minute email. Speaking isn't part of PassGerman yet, so for the oral exam you'll need a partner or a tutor.
Reading & Listening
Original reading texts and listening tasks with the same question types and timing as the telc B1 exam.
Writing
Practise the exam email with its four guiding points under the real 30-minute limit. Premium adds corrections for your writing.
Sprachbausteine
Master the tricky grammar and vocabulary gap-fill exercises specific to telc B1.
Why PassGerman?
Because it trains the exam, not just the language. Every mock exam is original, built around the telc B1 format and timing, and shows your points for every section afterwards. It's made by Ramin A., a German teacher with more than 1,000 lessons on Preply, and the first mock exam is free.

What you're preparing for
The telc B1 exam has two parts that are passed separately. Good practice targets both pass marks, not just a good total. You need 135 of 225 points in the written exam and 45 of 75 in the oral exam, and both have to be reached.
135 of 225 written points
The pass mark for the written exam: reading, Sprachbausteine, listening and the email.
45 of 75 oral points
The pass mark for speaking. A strong written score can't make up for a weak oral one.
90 minutes, no break
Reading and Sprachbausteine share one block. Stamina is part of the test.

Questions before you start
Is PassGerman an official telc product?
No. PassGerman is an independent exam practice platform. Our mock exams are original, written from scratch around the structure and skills the telc Deutsch B1 exam tests.
Does PassGerman cover the speaking exam?
Not yet. The simulator covers reading, Sprachbausteine, listening and writing. Speaking practice is planned for a later version.
Is B1 enough for German citizenship?
Yes. The citizenship law (§ 10 StAG) asks for a language exam at level B1, and the residence law counts B1 as sufficient German for the settlement permit.
What does it cost?
Your first full mock exam is free, with your points for every section. Premium adds more mock exams, detailed results and corrections for your writing.
