Modellsatz Erwachsene – Goethe-Zertifikat B1

What's inside the PDF
The official Goethe-Institut Modellsatz contains a complete B1 exam in the real format: reading, listening and writing. It also includes the speaking tasks, an answer sheet and the answer key for the multiple-choice parts. So you can see exactly how the tasks look at B1 and how the four modules are built.
Use the Modellsatz under real conditions: print the answer sheet, set a timer and work through each module in one go. Only afterwards check with the answer key. There is no model answer for the writing and speaking modules – here a teacher, a language partner or our mock exam with automatic feedback helps you.
A single Modellsatz shows you the format but does not replace training. To pass with confidence, practice each module several times – especially writing and speaking, which the PDF answer key does not cover.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Goethe B1 Modellsatz free?
Yes. The Goethe-Institut provides a complete Modellsatz free to download – without registration and without an account.
Are the answers included in the PDF?
For the multiple-choice parts (reading, listening) yes – the answer key is at the end of the PDF. For writing and speaking there is no model answer, because an examiner grades them.
Is there a Modellsatz for adults and one for young people?
Yes. The Goethe-Zertifikat B1 exists as an exam for adults and for young people. The task types are the same, only the topics differ – here we link the Modellsatz for adults.
Can I take the modules separately?
Yes. In the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 you can take the four modules (reading, listening, writing, speaking) together or separately and pass or repeat each module on its own.
Is the Modellsatz enough to prepare?
A single Modellsatz shows you the format and your current level, but it does not replace training. To pass with confidence, practice each module several times and get feedback – especially for writing and speaking. That’s exactly what Prepliq offers with realistic mock exams and automatic scoring.
