Last checked against telc’s official C1 format in October 2026. ## Your telc C1 model test score, judged on telc’s own pass marks *Your result* Prepliq judges your telc C1 model test on telc’s own pass marks. The written exam needs **99 of 166 points**, and the oral exam needs **29 of 48**. Each half gets its own Passed or Failed. These are the marks **telc prints** for C1, not a rounded rule of thumb. So 99 written points is a pass in Prepliq, **exactly as it is at telc**. In Prepliq’s result, your essay counts inside the written half, with Reading, Language elements and Listening. So **a strong presentation never hides a weak essay**. Which half is weak? Your Prepliq result shows you. Under telc’s official rules, you retake a failed half on its own within 12 months, but **with a new booking and a new fee**. Is your essay or your speaking still being checked? Then the result adds **the total and both verdicts** as soon as they arrive. **Review Answers** opens the whole model test with your answers in place, and Review Section opens one section. Each question shows **your answer next to the correct one**. ## telc C1 writing and speaking in the model test, with feedback on every essay and conversation *Writing and speaking* ### Your telc C1 essay, corrected on your own words An argued essay is hard to judge alone. Is your reasoning clear, and is your German rich enough? In the **telc C1 model test**, you pick **Topic 1 or 2** and write about 350 words, with a word count as you type. Ask for feedback, and Prepliq checks your essay on **three writing criteria**: - **Aufgabengerechtheit** — did you cover the topic, weigh both sides and argue your own view? - **Kommunikative Gestaltung** — does it read as one clear argument, with an opening, a middle and an end? - **Formale Richtigkeit & Repertoire** — grammar, spelling, and how varied your words are. 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 you know what to change in your telc C1 essay **before exam day**. ### Present and discuss in telc C1 Speaking, any time You can’t practise speaking alone. In the **telc C1 model test**, you pick a topic and give **a short presentation** of about 3 minutes. Then **Prepliq’s partner** asks you follow-up questions. In Part 2, you and the partner **discuss a statement**, weigh each other’s arguments and reach a shared conclusion. Record each turn and tap Done to send it. When a part is done, ask for feedback and Prepliq scores it on **telc’s five official speaking criteria**: - **Aufgabengerechtheit** — whether you did the task: the talk, the answers, the discussion. - **Flüssigkeit** — how freely you speak, without long pauses. - **Repertoire** — how wide and exact your words are. - **Grammatische Richtigkeit** — correct grammar. - **Aussprache und Intonation** — judged on how clearly your answers come through. At telc C1, **fluency is a criterion of its own**, and Prepliq scores it on its own line. Practise as often as you like, so your exam-day presentation **isn’t your first one**. With full access, every telc C1 essay and every speaking conversation is checked. These are practice scores from Prepliq. They are not marks from telc examiners. ## Are you ready for telc C1? Your readiness from every mock test *Exam day readiness* Your Prepliq dashboard turns every **telc C1 model test** you take into one **readiness card**, Prepliq’s own. It averages all your finished telc C1 tests, from one Language elements part to a full sitting. Each task counts as much as **its points in the exam**. The more telc C1 tests you finish, the less one bad day moves the picture. The card gives you four answers: - **Overall telc C1 readiness** — Your **estimated score** across the whole telc C1 exam. - **Measured parts of the telc C1 model test** — How much of the telc C1 exam your attempts have **actually covered**. - **telc C1 blind spots** — The telc C1 parts you haven’t done yet. - **telc C1 confidence** — How much **evidence** is behind your telc C1 estimate. It grows as you cover more of the exam and take more tests. Done every telc C1 section except Speaking? Then Speaking shows **“Not measured yet”**. The oral exam is a pass of its own, **29 of 48 points**, so that gap matters. One presentation and one discussion start to fill it. Once every part is measured, the card names each section **still below the pass mark**. Ask yourself: **would I pass telc C1 if I sat it now?** Your own results in the model test give the answer. Readiness is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a telc result. ## Unlimited telc C1 model tests with unique questions *New questions, repeats and history* The more different **telc C1 papers** you take, the less your score depends on memory. When your scores **hold up on new articles and lectures**, you can trust them before exam day. - **Start a new telc C1 mock test** — With full access, Start new test gives you a new telc C1 model test with **unique questions**. Each one has new articles, new lectures, new essay topics and new statements to discuss. Take a full exam or a single section, whenever you want. - **Retake a telc C1 test** — Want to redo a telc C1 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 telc C1 history** — Every telc C1 test you finish stays in **your history**, with its date, time, score and Passed or Failed. View Report opens that result again. ## telc C1 model test: PDF or online with Prepliq? *PDF or online with Prepliq* telc publishes **a telc C1 Übungstest**, a practice test as a PDF.

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. ## telc C1 model test: questions and answers *Practice test questions* Answers about the **telc C1 model test** in Prepliq: marking, the essay, the presentation, the discussion, your result and readiness.

Prepliq scores each part on **telc’s five official speaking criteria**: Aufgabengerechtheit, Flüssigkeit, Repertoire, Grammatische Richtigkeit, Aussprache und Intonation. ### How does telc C1 Listening work in the Prepliq model test? In Prepliq’s telc C1 model test, you practise all three Listening parts online: **8 people’s opinions** and then lectures. You match each opinion to a statement, answer questions on a lecture and complete notes on another. **Show transcript** lets you read a recording after you answer, so you see what you missed. ### How many points pass the telc C1 model test in Prepliq? Prepliq’s telc C1 model test uses telc’s printed pass marks: **99 of 166 points** in the written exam and **29 of 48** in the oral exam. Each half is Passed or Failed on its own. These are **telc’s own numbers** for C1, so a score right on the mark passes in Prepliq too. ### Can a strong presentation make up for a weak essay in the Prepliq telc C1 model test? No, in Prepliq’s telc C1 model test each half gets **its own Passed or Failed**, the way telc does it. The essay counts inside the written half, which needs **99 of 166 points**. The presentation can’t help it. Only Reading, Language elements and Listening can make up for a weak essay. ### How does the telc C1 model test in Prepliq show if I am ready? Your Prepliq **readiness card** shows how ready you are for telc C1, based on your own telc C1 model tests. The card shows your overall readiness and the **blind spots** you haven’t practised yet. Once every part is measured, the card names each section still below the pass mark. The readiness card is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a telc result. It shows **what to practise next**. ### What does confidence mean on my readiness card in the Prepliq telc C1 model test? Confidence on your Prepliq telc C1 readiness card shows **how much evidence** is behind the estimate. Confidence grows as your practice tests cover more of the exam and as you take more tests. Higher confidence means the estimate is **better supported**, not higher. ## telc C1 model test PDF: the official paper and how it compares *PDF · telc C1 model test* The telc C1 PDF page links **telc’s own Übungstest**.
