Under **Goethe’s official rules**, your four sections add up to one total, and the whole exam passes at **60 of 100 points**. In Prepliq’s result, no single section has a minimum, the same as at Goethe. So **a strong Reading can carry a weak Listening**, and you see one Passed or Failed for the whole Goethe A1 model test. Under Goethe’s official rules, you retake a failed Goethe A1 **as the whole exam**, as often as you need, with a new booking and a new fee. Is your message or your speaking still being checked?

In the **Goethe A1 model test**, you first fill in **5 fields of a form**. Prepliq checks each field against the key. Then you write a message on **3 points**, about 30 words. Ask for feedback, and Prepliq checks it on two criteria: - **Aufgabenerfüllung** — did you answer all three points? - **Kommunikative Gestaltung des Textes** — does it read like a real message, with a greeting and an ending? These two criteria judge whether your Goethe A1 message works, **not your grammar**. Prepliq still marks **every mistake on your own words**, with the rule and a short reason. So you learn from it **before exam day**. ### Introduce yourself, ask and request, in Goethe A1 Speaking You can’t practise speaking alone, and Goethe A1 Speaking is a group task. In the **Goethe A1 model test**, **Prepliq’s partner** plays the group. First you introduce yourself from a short topic list. Then you ask and answer questions with **word cards**, and make requests with **picture cards**. Each card is crossed off once you have used it. When a part is done, ask for feedback and Prepliq scores it on one criterion: - **Aufgabe und Sprache** — did you do the task, in words your partner understands? You also get **a short summary** of how the talk went and the reason for your score. So your Goethe A1 questions and answers on exam day **aren’t your first ones**. With full access, every Goethe A1 message and every speaking part is checked. These are practice scores from Prepliq. They are not marks from Goethe examiners. ## Are you ready for Goethe A1? Your readiness from every mock test *Exam day readiness* Your Prepliq dashboard turns every **Goethe A1 model test** you take, the full exam or one section, into one **readiness card**. Goethe A1 passes on **one total out of 100**, so the card gives you one overall estimate. Each section counts as much as its share of the points. The card gives you four answers: - **Overall Goethe A1 readiness** — Your **estimated score** across the whole Goethe A1 exam, on its one total. - **Goethe A1 model test measured** — How much of the Goethe A1 exam your attempts have **actually covered**. - **Goethe A1 blind spots** — The Goethe A1 sections and parts you haven’t done yet. - **Goethe A1 confidence** — How much **evidence** is behind your Goethe A1 estimate. It grows as you cover more of the exam and take more tests. Done every Goethe A1 section except Speaking? Then Speaking shows **“Not measured yet”**. Speaking is **a quarter of the points**, so one Speaking practice changes your picture a lot. Goethe A1 has **no pass mark per section**. What counts is how close your whole total is to **60 of 100**. Ask yourself: **would I pass Goethe A1 today?** The answer is in your own Goethe A1 model test results. Readiness is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a Goethe result. ## Unlimited Goethe A1 model tests with unique questions *New questions, repeats and history* The more different **Goethe A1 model tests** you take, the less your total depends on memory. When it **holds up on new questions**, you can trust it. - **Start a new Goethe A1 model test** — With full access, Start new test gives you a new Goethe A1 model test with **unique questions**: new texts, recordings, forms and cards.

That helped me a lot, thank you very much Prepliq. I feel very grateful for this application and I wish everyone good luck. - **Nerea** (Goethe A2): I have two children, so I could only practice after nine at night. Twenty minutes a day for six weeks and it was enough to feel ready for the exam. - **Bogdan** (telc B2): A month ago, my practice tests were around 60 percent. Now I am getting over 80 and, for the first time, I feel ready for the real exam. - **Ilaria** (Goethe C1): I have been preparing for the C1 for three months. What helps me the most is that the feedback tells me what to correct, not just a grade. My results in the exercises finally look like C1 level. - **Rasha** (telc A2): This was my first exam in a new country and I was afraid of everything. After taking the full exam here once, from beginning to end, most of that fear faded away. - **Tijana** (Goethe B1): Reading was never my problem, but I would freeze up when someone spoke to me. I listened to the audio recordings here at full speed over and over again, and that solved the problem. - **Leandro** (TestDaF): I used to panic about the speaking part. After practicing here every day, it feels like a normal conversation now. The real exam is in ten days and that part is the one that scares me the least. - **Yaryna** (telc B2): I only have my evenings because of my full-time job, so I do one practice section per evening. The exam is next Saturday, and I actually feel ready. - **Sinan** (Goethe B2): The writing feedback was, to be honest, harsh. However, it kept showing me the same three mistakes, and after correcting them for two weeks, my letters became much better. - **Wassim** (TestDaF): A friend told me about Prepliq, it helped him before his exam. I find it useful too. - **Analyn** (telc B2): ChatGPT recommended me Prepliq when I asked how to practise for the exam. Thank goodness this website exist. - **Mariana** (Goethe B1): With the PDF exam models, I could only check my reading and listening comprehension answers. No one could tell me if my letter was correct or listen to me speak. Now I finally receive corrections on what I write and say, and those were my weakest parts. - **Tekla** (telc B2): I did the same practice test so many times that I knew the answers by heart. That says nothing about your level. Now I am practicing with questions I have never seen before, and when my score goes up, I know it is real. - **Imane** (Goethe B1): Studying alone was the hardest part for me. Then I kept seeing that other people were practicing at that very moment, someone finished a full test in the middle of the night, and someone else improved their score. It seems simple, but it kept me going. - **Parisa** (Goethe B2): What scared me was not German, but the exam itself. After a few complete practice runs here, I know all the sections, what comes first and how much time I have for each one. - **Almir** (telc B1): For my citizenship application, I need a B1 certificate, and the deadline is close. I practiced here every day after work. My last three practice exams were above the passing threshold, now I just want to pass the real one. - **Erind** (telc B1): The telc exam costs almost 200 euros, and if you fail, you have to pay the whole fee again. I waited until my test results were stable to book the date. Now, the money part doesn't scare me anymore. - **Nikhil** (TestDaF): I need the certificate for my Masters. My problem was always running out of time, so I kept doing full timed exams here until that stopped happening. - **Kinga** (telc B1): I failed the telc B1 on my first attempt. This time, I practiced the speaking part here almost every evening. My retake exam is in two weeks, and I'm not as nervous as I was the first time. ## Goethe A1 model test: questions and answers *Practice test questions* Answers about the **Goethe A1 model test** in Prepliq: answers, the form, the message, speaking, your score and readiness.

Your Prepliq **readiness card** shows whether you are ready for Goethe A1, built from your own Goethe A1 model tests. The card shows one overall estimate for the whole exam, how much of it you have measured, and which sections are **blind spots**. Speaking is **a quarter of the points**, so until you practise it, a quarter of your picture is missing. The card is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a Goethe result. It points to **what to practise next**. ### What does confidence mean on my readiness card in the Prepliq Goethe A1 model test? Confidence on your Prepliq Goethe A1 readiness card shows **how much evidence** is behind the estimate. Confidence grows as your practice covers more of the four Goethe A1 sections, Speaking included, and as you take more tests. Higher confidence means the estimate is **better supported**, not higher. ## Goethe A1 model test PDF: the official paper and how it compares *PDF · Goethe A1 model test* The Goethe A1 PDF page links **Goethe’s own Modellsatz**.
