Why Prepliq · telc C2 model test
The best telc C2 model test for learners who want to pass

You start the telc C2 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.

New questions in every German C2 practice test
Every new telc C2 model test has unique questions.
Practise by section
telc C2 model test by section: Reading, Listening and Writing, Writing and Speaking
Every part of the telc C2 model test follows telc’s official format. Practise the full test or one section with its own clock.
A single section counts too. Its result goes into your history and onto your readiness card. So no telc C2 task is new to you on exam day.
telc C2 Reading
In the telc C2 Reading model test, you put text sections in the right order and answer questions on a long article. Then you match questions to the sections of a text, or mark “x”. Prepliq checks every answer, and you see your answer next to the correct one.
telc C2 Listening and Writing
In the telc C2 Listening and Writing model test, you hear a lecture and write a summary of about 300 words. Show transcript lets you read what you missed. Then Prepliq checks your summary on telc’s two official criteria.
telc C2 Writing
In the telc C2 Writing model test, you choose topic A, B or C and write an essay of about 500 words. In the full test, the texts and the lecture stay one tab away. Prepliq checks your essay on four criteria and marks every correction.
telc C2 Speaking
In the telc C2 Speaking model test, you give a presentation on one of two topics. Then Prepliq’s partner asks follow-up questions, and you defend your view. Prepliq scores each part on telc’s five official speaking criteria.
Your result
Your telc C2 model test score, with a result for the written and the oral exam
Prepliq judges your telc C2 model test on telc’s own pass rule. Under telc’s official rules, the written exam and the oral exam each get their own Passed or Failed. You need at least 72 of 120 written points and 24 of 40 speaking points.
In Prepliq’s telc C2 model test, Reading, the lecture summary and the essay each carry a third of the written points. Your result shows each section’s score, so a weak essay never hides.
Which half is weak? Prepliq gives each half its own Passed or Failed. Under telc’s official rules, you retake a failed half on its own, but with a new booking and a new fee.
Is your summary, essay or 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. Questions you skipped are marked as skipped.

telc C2 writing and speaking in the model test: your summary, essay and presentation checked
Your telc C2 lecture summary, checked on telc’s criteria
It is hard to know if your summary caught the main points. In the telc C2 model test, the lecture plays in Prepliq next to your summary, with a word count toward about 300 words.
Ask for feedback, and Prepliq checks your summary on telc’s two official criteria for this task:
- Inhaltliche Angemessenheit — did you name the title, the five main topics and their key points?
- Sprachliche Angemessenheit — how well your German is written.
Every correction is marked on your own words, with the rule and a short reason. So you know which part of the lecture you missed before exam day.

Your telc C2 essay, corrected on your own words
An essay of C2 quality is hard to judge alone. In the full test, did you use the texts or only your own view? In the telc C2 model test, you pick topic A, B or C and write.
Ask for feedback, and Prepliq checks your essay on four criteria:
- Aufgabengerechtheit — did you cover your topic, use at least three texts in the full test, and keep your view apart from theirs?
- Kohärenz und Kohäsion — is the essay well built, and does the argument follow?
- Korrektheit — grammar, spelling and punctuation.
- Repertoire — how wide and precise your words are.
You get points for each one, with the reason for them. Each correction shows the rule and a short reason. So your exam-day essay isn’t your first one.

Present and defend your view in telc C2 Speaking
You can’t practise a presentation with questions alone. In the telc C2 model test, you pick one of two topics and present it to Prepliq’s partner.
Then the partner asks follow-up questions, and you defend your view. Record each turn and tap Done to send it. Prepliq scores each part on telc’s five official speaking criteria:
- Aufgabengerechtheit — did you do the task: a clear talk, then real answers?
- Flüssigkeit — how freely you speak.
- Repertoire — how wide your words and structures are.
- Grammatische Richtigkeit — correct grammar.
- Aussprache und Intonation — judged on how clearly your answers come through.
You see the points for each one. So your exam-day questions don’t catch you cold.

Exam day readiness
Are you ready for telc C2? Your readiness from every mock test
Your Prepliq dashboard turns every telc C2 model test you take into one readiness card, Prepliq’s own. It averages all your finished telc C2 tests, full exams and single sections.
Each task counts as much as its points in the exam. The more telc C2 tests you finish, the less one bad day moves the picture. The card gives you four answers:
telc C2 → exam day readiness
Based on the 1 test you've finished with a score

One essay starts to fill it. Once every part is measured, the card names each section still below the 60% mark.
Ask yourself: would I pass telc C2 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.
