Why Prepliq · Goethe B2 model test
The best Goethe B2 model test for learners who want to pass
For Goethe B2 there is a PDF paper, and there are books. But nobody reads your forum post there, and nobody asks you about your talk. That is where Prepliq’s Goethe B2 model test comes in: all four modules online, with feedback on every part.
Unlike a PDF you mark yourself, Prepliq scores your two texts and your speaking on Goethe’s official criteria, and each module on its own. And every new Goethe B2 mock test has unique questions. So you know before exam day which module still needs work.
You start the Goethe B2 model test without an account, in your browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Prepliq saves it from your first answer, so no practice is lost.
What you get · Goethe B2 model test
What the Goethe B2 model test in Prepliq gives you
Six reasons to take the Goethe B2 model test online, not on paper.
The full Goethe B2 model test
All four modules in Goethe’s official format, or just the one you need.
Goethe B2 model test with answers, in two modes
Instant marks each answer right or wrong at once. Exam Mode shows everything after you hand in.
Your Goethe B2 forum post, corrected
Prepliq checks your forum post and your formal message on Goethe’s official criteria and marks every fix on your own words.
Goethe B2 speaking with a partner
You give a talk, Prepliq’s partner asks you about it, and then you debate a question together.
Ready for Goethe B2?
Your readiness card shows where you stand and what is still missing.
New questions in every Goethe B2 mock test
Every new Goethe B2 model test has unique questions.
Practise by module
Goethe B2 model test by module: Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking
Every module of the Goethe B2 model test follows Goethe’s official format. Practise the full test or one module with its own clock.
A single module counts too. Its result goes into your history and onto your readiness card. So no Goethe B2 task is new to you on exam day.
Goethe B2 Reading
In the Goethe B2 Reading model test, you match statements to four people in a forum, fill an article’s gaps with sentences and match opinions to headings. Prepliq checks every answer, and you see your answer next to the correct one.
Goethe B2 Listening
In the Goethe B2 Listening model test, you hear short texts, an interview, a group talk where you decide who says what, and a short lecture. Show transcript lets you read what you missed.
Goethe B2 Writing
In the Goethe B2 Writing model test, you write two required texts: a forum post of about 150 words and a formal message of about 100. Prepliq checks both on Goethe’s official criteria.
Goethe B2 Speaking
In the Goethe B2 Speaking model test, you give a talk of about 4 minutes on one of two topics and answer questions on it. Then you debate a question with Prepliq’s partner.
Your result
Your Goethe B2 model test score, module by module
Prepliq marks your Goethe B2 model test the way Goethe does. Under Goethe’s official rules, each module needs 60 of 100 points on its own.
So your result shows a Passed or Failed for every module. Strong Reading cannot carry a weak Writing module.
Which module is still weak? Your Prepliq result shows you. Under Goethe’s official rules, you retake a failed module on its own, as often as your test centre offers dates, each time with a new booking and fee.
Are your texts or your talk still being checked? Then the result shows what is done and adds the rest as soon as it arrives.
Review Answers opens the whole Goethe B2 model test with your answers in place. Each gap and question shows your answer next to the correct one, and skipped ones are marked as skipped.

Writing and speaking
Goethe B2 writing and speaking in the model test, scored on Goethe’s official criteria
Your Goethe B2 forum post and formal message, corrected on your own words
Two texts in 75 minutes leave little time to check your own German. In the Goethe B2 model test, you write a Forumsbeitrag with your opinion and a Formelle Nachricht to someone at work, on a course or at university.
Ask for feedback, and Prepliq scores each text on Goethe’s four official writing criteria, with Goethe’s own points:
- Aufgabenerfüllung — did you cover every point the task asks for?
- Kohärenz — do your sentences and paragraphs connect?
- Wortschatz — the range and fit of your words.
- Strukturen — grammar and sentence building.
You get points for each one, with the reason for them. Every correction is marked on your own words, with the rule and a short reason. So the forum post you write on exam day isn’t your first one.

Link the two ideas with “zwar … aber” to show the contrast.
A talk and a discussion, in Goethe B2 Speaking
You can’t practise a debate alone. In the Goethe B2 model test, you pick one of two topics and give a talk of about 4 minutes. Prepliq’s partner listens without interrupting, then asks follow-up questions.
At least one question pushes back on your view, as a real partner might. Prepliq scores your talk on Goethe’s official speaking criteria and points:
- Aufgabenerfüllung — did you cover the topic’s points?
- Kohärenz — does your talk flow and hang together?
- Wortschatz, Strukturen — your words and your grammar.
- Fragen/Antworten — how well you answer the questions.
Then you discuss a controversial question with the partner. That part adds Interaktion, how you keep the talk going, and Aussprache, judged on how clearly your answers come through. So follow-up questions and a debate are nothing new on exam day.

Exam day readiness
Are you ready for Goethe B2? Your readiness from every mock test
Your Prepliq dashboard turns every Goethe B2 model test you take into one readiness card. Full papers and single modules both count.
Goethe passes each B2 module on its own, so the card reads module by module, with no overall number. It answers four questions:
Goethe B2 → exam day readiness
Based on the 1 test you've finished with a score
Modules at 60% or more
2 / 4
Exam measured

Goethe B2 readiness per module
Each Goethe B2 module measured against Goethe’s own pass line, one at a time.
Measured parts of the Goethe B2 model test
The share of the Goethe B2 exam your practice has actually tested.
Goethe B2 blind spots
The Goethe B2 modules you have not tried yet.
Goethe B2 confidence
How much evidence stands behind your Goethe B2 estimate. It grows with every module you cover and every test you take.
Practised Goethe B2 Reading, Writing and Speaking but never Listening? Then Listening shows “Not measured yet”. Goethe judges every module on its own, so Listening needs its own practice too.
Once all four modules are measured, the card names each one still below 60%. That is Goethe’s own line for passing a B2 module.
Ask yourself for each module: would I pass it if I sat it now? Your own results in the Goethe B2 model test give the answer. Readiness is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a Goethe result.
New questions, repeats and history
Unlimited Goethe B2 model tests with unique questions
Goethe’s B2 Modellsatz is a fixed paper. After a second try, you know its answers. Prepliq writes new Goethe B2 papers, so a module that holds up on new texts is one you can trust before exam day.
Start a new Goethe B2 mock test
With full access, Start new test gives you a new Goethe B2 model test with unique questions: new articles, new recordings and new writing topics. Take all four modules or one.
Retake a Goethe B2 test
Want another go at the same Goethe B2 paper? Retake this test brings back the same questions, and its result card says it was a retake. An unfinished test waits on your dashboard.
Your Goethe B2 history
Every Goethe B2 test you finish, all four modules or one, stays in your history with its date, time, score and Passed or Failed. View Report opens that result again.
PDF or online with Prepliq
Goethe B2 model test: PDF or online with Prepliq?
The Goethe-Institut publishes its own Goethe B2 Modellsatz as a PDF, with the key and the marking sheets. You can print it and write on it.
But it is a fixed paper, and it can’t read your forum post or answer your talk with a question. Prepliq’s Goethe B2 practice test follows Goethe’s official format, online.
Use the PDF to see the official paper. Use Prepliq to test each module as often as you need.

How does Goethe B2 Reading work in the Prepliq model test?
In Prepliq’s Goethe B2 model test, you practise all five Reading parts online, each text next to its tasks.
You match statements to four people in a forum and fill the gaps in an article with sentences. Then you answer a, b or c on a newspaper article, match opinions to headings, and match headings to the paragraphs of a set of rules.
Prepliq checks every gap, match and answer against the key, so you see which Goethe B2 Reading part still costs you points.
How does Goethe B2 Listening work in the Prepliq model test?
In Prepliq’s Goethe B2 model test, you practise all four Listening parts online: short texts, an interview, a group conversation and a lecture.
Each short text has a true or false and an a, b or c question. In the conversation, you decide who says what. Show transcript lets you read a recording after you answer, so you see what you missed before exam day.
How are my forum post and formal message checked in the Goethe B2 model test?
Prepliq checks your forum post and formal message in the Goethe B2 model test on Goethe’s four official criteria, Aufgabenerfüllung, Kohärenz, Wortschatz, Strukturen, with Goethe’s own points for each.
You write a Forumsbeitrag of about 150 words and a Formelle Nachricht of about 100.
You get points for each criterion, with the reason for them, and every correction marked on your own words, with the rule behind it. So you know what to fix before exam day.
Can I practise the Goethe B2 talk and discussion in the Prepliq model test?
Yes, in Prepliq’s Goethe B2 model test you give a talk of about 4 minutes on one of two topics, and Prepliq’s partner listens.
Then the partner asks follow-up questions, at least one that challenges your view. After that, you discuss a controversial question together.
Prepliq scores both parts on Goethe’s official speaking criteria, including how you answer the questions. So your exam-day talk isn’t your first one.
How is the Goethe B2 model test scored in Prepliq?
Prepliq scores the Goethe B2 model test the way Goethe does: Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking each out of 100, each on its own.
Each module needs 60 of 100 to pass. Goethe adds no B2 total, so your Prepliq result shows a Passed or Failed per module, Writing and Speaking included.
What does the Goethe B2 model test show if one module is below 60?
Prepliq’s Goethe B2 model test shows that module as Failed, the way Goethe’s official rules judge it: each module needs 60 of 100 points on its own.
A strong Reading score cannot make up for a weak Writing score. The modules you passed stay passed, so Prepliq’s result tells you exactly which one to work on.
How long is the Goethe B2 model test in Prepliq?
Prepliq’s full Goethe B2 model test has 3 hours 15 minutes of exam time, Goethe’s official time for the four modules.
You can stop at any point with Continue Later, and the clock waits for you. So you learn the pace of each module before exam day.
How does the Goethe B2 model test in Prepliq show if I am ready?
Your Prepliq readiness card shows how ready each Goethe B2 module is, based on your own Goethe B2 model tests.
The card shows how much of the Goethe B2 exam you have measured and which modules are still blind spots. Once all four are measured, it names each module still below 60%, Goethe’s own pass line.
Readiness is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a Goethe result. It shows which module to practise next.
Can I see my wrong answers in the Prepliq Goethe B2 model test?
Yes, Review Answers in Prepliq opens your whole Goethe B2 model test with every gap and answer in place, and Review Section opens one module.
Each gap, match and question shows your answer next to the correct one, and skipped ones are marked as skipped. So you know a Goethe B2 mistake before exam day.
