German B2 exam practice: reduce your mistakes in a targeted way
At B2 details often decide: a clean line of argument, suitable phrases, secure structures. In exams in the style of Goethe, telc and ÖSD Sprachfuchs shows you where you lose points and builds your training from that.
- Writing and speaking with AI feedback based on the institutes’ criteria.
- Your mistake profile collects mistakes across all exercises.
- The first B2 exam is free, and new ones are added every week.

Example: what a practice exam in the style of B2 looks like.
Level B2
What is expected of you at B2.
At B2 you understand the main content of complex texts, can communicate spontaneously and express yourself clearly and coherently on many topics. In the exam that means: longer texts, faster listening, more demanding writing and speaking tasks.
Listening
Interviews, talks and conversations at normal speed. Listening texts play only as often as in the exam.
Writing
Texts with an opinion, reasons and the right register. Structure, vocabulary and grammar count.
Speaking
Presenting, discussing, negotiating. You practise with the AI partner until the sequence feels natural.
Mistake profile
At B2 the same mistakes keep coming back.
At B2 people rarely make new mistakes, they repeat old ones: the same preposition, the same verb position in subordinate clauses, the same unsuitable phrase. Sprachfuchs remembers where you go wrong.
- Mistakes by category. Grammar, expression, spelling and pronunciation, with a trend and the places that come back.
- Training from your mistakes. You see the wrong place and type the correct version.
- Phrases and colloquial language. Expressions for opinion, agreement and disagreement, matching the register. B2 phrases
Example
Expression
Ich bin dagegen von der Idee.
Ich bin gegen diese Idee, weil …
The mistake moves into your training
Five tips
How to gain points in the B2 exam.
- Make your argument visible. Opinion, reason, example, conclusion. Connect them with suitable phrases instead of “and”.
- Mind the register. A formal email sounds different from a message to friends. Greeting, closing and choice of words are part of the assessment.
- Check your subordinate clauses. Verb at the end, set the comma. Read your text once only for these mistakes.
- Understand listening texts in sections. Note keywords instead of whole sentences and read the tasks beforehand.
- Practise speaking as a sequence. Introduction, main points, conclusion. If you know the sequence, your head is free for the content in the conversation.
