Example: what a practice exam in the style of B2 looks like.
Important first
Your university decides which proof counts.
Every university, and often every degree programme, decides which language proofs it recognises and which level is required. This is stated in the admission regulations or on the university’s website. Check it before you register for an exam.
Clarify the exam
Some universities require particular exams. Sprachfuchs offers practice in the style of Goethe, telc and ÖSD, not for other exams such as TestDaF or DSH.
Clarify the deadlines
Plan exam dates and application deadlines backwards. Practise early enough that you can repeat if needed.
What counts at B2
Write in a subject-related way, speak with confidence.
For university you need more than everyday German: you read longer texts, follow explanations and formulate clearly and in order. The B2 exams test exactly these foundations.
Writing and speaking
Structure and argument are a matter of practice.
In texts with an opinion and reasons, what matters is structure, suitable connections and secure grammar. In conversation it is a clear sequence. Both can be trained.
- Writing tasks with feedback. You see mistakes by category, with a correction and an explanation.
- Speaking with an AI partner. Instructions, preparation time, conversation and recording, as often as you like.
- Phrases. Expressions for opinion, comparison, objection and conclusion. B2 phrases
Example
Grammar
Wegen dem Regen blieb ich zu Hause.
Wegen des Regens blieb ich zu Hause.
The mistake moves into your training
Five tips
How to practise systematically.
- Start with a whole exam. It shows you where you stand. Only then is targeted practice worthwhile.
- Sort your weaknesses by category. Grammar, expression, spelling, pronunciation: start with the category with the most mistakes.
- Plan texts before you write. Two minutes of outlining save corrections later.
- Listen with notes. Practise writing keywords instead of taking down every sentence.
- Practise against the clock. The server clock shows you how long you have per part. That way the pace becomes familiar.
