Telemedizin – Arztbesuch per Bildschirm

Die Digitalisierung hat längst auch das Gesundheitswesen erreicht. Immer mehr Patientinnen und Patienten nehmen ärztliche Beratung in Anspruch, ohne dafür eine Praxis aufsuchen zu müssen. Die sogenannte Telemedizin beruht  1 dem Prinzip, dass ärztliche Konsultationen auch digital stattfinden können und medizinische Befunde elektronisch übermittelt werden. Vor allem chronisch Kranke profitieren von der Möglichkeit, regelmäßige Kontrolltermine bequem von zu Hause aus wahrzunehmen. Besonders in ländlichen Regionen erweist sich dieses Angebot als große Entlastung. Lange Anfahrtswege und Wartezeiten entfallen, was vor allem für ältere oder in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkte Menschen von Vorteil ist. Eine aktuelle Studie kommt  2 dem Ergebnis, dass die Zufriedenheit der Patientinnen und Patienten mit telemedizinischen Konsultationen vergleichbar hoch ist wie bei persönlichen Besuchen. Darüber hinaus konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die digitale Sprechstunde in vielen Fällen zu einer schnelleren Diagnosestellung beiträgt. Es  3 sich jedoch nicht leugnen, dass Herausforderungen bestehen. Nicht alle Erkrankungen können aus der Ferne diagnostiziert werden, und die körperliche Untersuchung kann durch kein digitales Werkzeug  4 werden. Zudem  5 nicht alle Bevölkerungsgruppen über die technischen Voraussetzungen, die für eine reibungslose Videosprechstunde nötig sind. Kritiker weisen darauf  6, dass der persönliche Kontakt zwischen Arzt und Patient unersetzlich sei und dass wichtige Symptome bei einer rein digitalen Konsultation übersehen werden könnten. Dennoch sind sich Expertinnen und Experten weitgehend  7, dass die Telemedizin ein fester  8 der zukünftigen Gesundheitsversorgung werden wird. Die Kombination aus digitalen und analogen Angeboten werde die medizinische Versorgung nachhaltig verbessern und den Zugang zu Fachärztinnen und Fachärzten erleichtern.

Why Prepliq · Goethe C1 model test

The best Goethe C1 model test for learners who want to pass

For Goethe C1 there is the Modellsatz PDF, and there are books. But nobody reads your forum post there, and nobody pushes back on your talk. That is where Prepliq’s Goethe C1 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 judges each module on its own. And every new Goethe C1 mock test has unique questions. So you know before exam day which module still needs work.

You start the Goethe C1 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 C1 model test

What the Goethe C1 model test in Prepliq gives you

Six reasons to take the Goethe C1 model test online, not on paper.

The full Goethe C1 model test

All four modules in Goethe’s official format, or just the one you need.

Goethe C1 model test with answers, in two modes

Instant marks each answer right or wrong at once, with an explanation in the Lückentext. Exam Mode shows everything after you hand in.

Your Goethe C1 forum post, corrected

Prepliq checks your forum post and your email on Goethe’s official criteria and marks every correction on your own words.

Goethe C1 speaking with a partner

Prepliq’s partner asks follow-up questions on your talk and takes the other side in the debate.

Ready for Goethe C1?

Your readiness card shows where you stand and what is still missing.

New questions in every Goethe C1 mock test

Goethe’s Modellsatz is a fixed paper. Every new Goethe C1 model test in Prepliq has unique questions.

Practise by module

Goethe C1 model test by module: Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking

Every module of the Goethe C1 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 C1 task is new to you on exam day.

Goethe C1 Reading

In the Goethe C1 Reading model test, you pick one word from four for each gap of a Lückentext. Then come a newspaper article, sentences to fit into an article’s gaps and 3 authors: who says what? In the Lückentext, Show Explanation tells you why the word fits.

4 parts · 65 min

Goethe C1 Listening

In the Goethe C1 Listening model test, you hear a podcast about new books, an interview, a discussion in four sections and a lecture. In the interview, you decide: true, false or not said. Show transcript lets you read what you missed.

4 parts · 40 min

Goethe C1 Writing

In the Goethe C1 Writing model test, you write a forum post of about 230 words on one of two topics, then a semi-formal email of about 120. Prepliq checks both on Goethe’s official criteria.

2 tasks · 75 min

Goethe C1 Speaking

In the Goethe C1 Speaking model test, you give a talk of about 5 minutes and answer 3 follow-up questions. Then you debate a topic with Prepliq’s partner, who takes the other side at least once.

2 tasks · 20 min

Same 4 modules, 3 h 20 min and pass rule as the official Goethe C1 exam. Last checked against Goethe’s official C1 format in October 2026.

Your result

Your Goethe C1 model test score, module by module

Prepliq marks your Goethe C1 model test by the rules of the modular C1 exam. Under Goethe’s official rules, Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking each need 60 of 100 points on their own.

So your result shows a Passed or Failed for every module, and no total. A strong Speaking score cannot carry a weak Goethe C1 Reading module.

Which module is 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, but each time with a new booking and fee.

Is your forum post or your debate still being checked? Then your Goethe C1 result shows the modules already marked and adds the rest as soon as it arrives.

Review Answers opens the whole Goethe C1 model test with your answers in place. Each gap shows your answer next to the correct one, and in the Lückentext Show Explanation tells you why.

Writing and speaking

Goethe C1 writing and speaking in the model test, scored on Goethe’s official criteria

Your Goethe C1 forum post and email, corrected on your own words

About 230 words of argument, then an email, all in 75 minutes. In the Goethe C1 model test, you pick one of two topics for the Forumsbeitrag, then write a Halbformelle E-Mail.

Tap Get Feedback, and Prepliq scores both C1 texts on Goethe’s four official writing criteria, with Goethe’s own C1 points:

  • Aufgabenerfüllung — did you cover all four points the task asks for?
  • Kohärenz — does your argument hold together from start to end?
  • Wortschatz — the range and precision 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 C1 forum post you write on exam day isn’t your first one.

    After “wegen”, the noun takes the genitive.

  • Should fix · Fluency

    Das finde ich total gut. → Diesen Ansatz halte ich für überzeugend.

    A forum argument at C1 needs a more precise, neutral phrase.

A challenged talk and a debate, in Goethe C1 Speaking

You can’t practise a debate alone. In the Goethe C1 model test, you pick one of two topics and give a talk of about 5 minutes. Prepliq’s partner listens without interrupting.

Then it asks 3 follow-up questions, and at least one challenges your argument. Prepliq scores the talk on Goethe’s official speaking criteria and points:

  • Aufgabenerfüllung — did you cover the topic’s four points?
  • Kohärenz — is your talk well built and fluent?
  • Wortschatz, Strukturen — your words and your grammar.
  • Fragen/Antworten — how well you answer the follow-up questions.

Then you debate a topic with the partner, who takes the opposite side at least once. That part adds Interaktion, how you keep the debate going, and Aussprache, judged on how clearly your answers come through. So follow-up questions and a debate are nothing new on exam day.

Speaking · Part 1 · Vortrag

about 5 minutes
  • You

    Mein Vortrag behandelt die Frage, ob Homeoffice die Produktivität steigert. Zunächst stelle ich zwei Studien vor.

  • Partner

    Sie sagen, die Produktivität steigt. Aber wie erklären Sie dann, dass viele Firmen ihre Leute zurück ins Büro holen?

With full access, every Goethe C1 writing task and every speaking part is checked. These are practice scores based on Goethe’s official criteria. They are not marks from Goethe examiners.

Exam day readiness

Are you ready for Goethe C1? Your readiness from every mock test

Your Prepliq dashboard turns every Goethe C1 model test you take into one readiness card. A full paper of over three hours counts, and so does one Reading practice on its own.

Goethe passes each C1 module on its own, so the card reads module by module, with no overall number. It answers four questions:

Goethe C1 → exam day readiness

Based on the 1 test you've finished with a score

Try the remaining tasks to complete your readiness picture.

Goethe C1 module readiness

Each Goethe C1 module measured against Goethe’s own pass line, one at a time.

Measured parts of the Goethe C1 model test

The share of the Goethe C1 exam your practice has actually tested.

Goethe C1 blind spots

The Goethe C1 modules you have not tried yet.

Goethe C1 confidence

How much evidence stands behind your Goethe C1 estimate. It grows with every module you cover and every test you take.

Practised Goethe C1 Reading, Listening and Speaking but never written the 230-word forum post? Then Writing shows “Not measured yet”. It is the one module you have no evidence for.

Once all four modules are measured, the card names each one still below 60%. That is Goethe’s own line for passing a C1 module.

Ask yourself: would I pass Goethe C1 Reading, or any other module, 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 Goethe result.

New questions, repeats and history

Unlimited Goethe C1 model tests with unique questions

Goethe’s C1 Modellsatz is a fixed paper. After a second try, you know its answers. Prepliq gives you new Goethe C1 papers, so a module that holds up on a new Lückentext and a new debate is one you can trust before exam day.

Start a new Goethe C1 mock test

With full access, Start new test gives you a new Goethe C1 model test with unique questions: new articles, new recordings, new forum topics and new talk topics. Take all four modules or one.

Retake a Goethe C1 test

Want another go at the same Goethe 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 Goethe C1 history

Every Goethe C1 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.

What learners say about the mock tests in Prepliq

Learners tell how they get ready for their exam with Prepliq’s model tests.

it helps a lot
rayane

Translated from Spanish

Greetings, it is very important to practice every day and if you make a mistake, try it again until you succeed. That helped me a lot, thank you very much Prepliq. I feel very grateful for this application and I wish everyone good luck.
gabyGoetheB1

Translated from Spanish

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.
NereaGoetheA2

Translated from Romanian

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.
BogdantelcB2

Translated from Italian

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.
IlariaGoetheC1

Translated from Arabic

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.
RashatelcA2

Translated from Serbian

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.
TijanaGoetheB1

Translated from Portuguese

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.
LeandroTestDaF

Translated from Ukrainian

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.
YarynatelcB2

Translated from Turkish

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.
SinanGoetheB2

Translated from French

A friend told me about Prepliq, it helped him before his exam. I find it useful too.
WassimTestDaF
ChatGPT recommended me Prepliq when I asked how to practise for the exam. Thank goodness this website exist.
AnalyntelcB2

Translated from Spanish

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.
MarianaGoetheB1

Translated from Georgian

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.
TeklatelcB2

Translated from Arabic

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.
ImaneGoetheB1

Translated from Persian

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.
ParisaGoetheB2

Translated from Serbian

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.
AlmirtelcB1

Translated from Albanian

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.
ErindtelcB1
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.
NikhilTestDaF

Translated from Polish

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.
KingatelcB1

Practice test questions

Goethe C1 model test: questions and answers

Answers about the Goethe C1 model test in Prepliq: marking, the forum post, the talk, the debate, your result and readiness.

What is the Goethe C1 model test in Prepliq?

Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test is a full German C1 practice test online, built the way Goethe’s modular C1 exam is.

You practise Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking in Goethe’s official format. Prepliq checks every answer, corrects your two texts and asks follow-up questions on your talk. So you know the tasks before exam day.

How does the Goethe C1 practice test work online?

In Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test, you pick all four modules or one and answer online.

Prepliq adds up your points, shows each answer next to the correct one and gives each module its own result. So you see where you stand before exam day.

How do I start the Goethe C1 model test?

You start Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test with “Start full Goethe C1 model test”.

Want to practise one module only? Choose “One Goethe C1 module” and the module you need.

That works for all four modules. The result goes into your history and counts toward your readiness card.

Is the Goethe C1 model test online better than the PDF?

Yes, for writing and speaking: Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test checks your texts and your speaking for you. With the PDF, you judge them yourself.

What is the difference between the Goethe C1 model test and the real exam?

Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test is practice, not the official exam: the same modules and pass rule as Goethe, but no certificate.

Prepliq is independent of the Goethe-Institut. The papers and scores are Prepliq’s own, not Goethe results.

Does the Goethe C1 model test guarantee a pass?

No, Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test gives you an estimate, not a promise.

The Goethe-Institut’s PDF is a fixed paper to print. Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test runs the same format online: your two texts are scored, a partner questions your talk, and you get a new paper whenever you want.

Does every Goethe C1 mock test in Prepliq have new questions?

Yes, with full access every new Goethe C1 model test in Prepliq has unique questions: new articles, new recordings, new forum topics and new talk topics.

Exam Mode hides every answer until you hand in a module or the full paper, as the real Goethe C1 exam does. Both modes are Prepliq’s own. Learn the C1 task types with Instant, then let Exam Mode show how each module would go on exam day.

How does Goethe C1 Reading work in the Prepliq model test?

In Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test, you practise all four Reading parts online, each text next to its tasks.

You pick a word for each gap of a Lückentext, answer a, b or c on a newspaper article and fit sentences into an article. Last, you decide which of 3 authors makes each statement, or none.

Prepliq checks every word, sentence and author choice against the key. So you see which Goethe C1 Reading part still costs you points.

Does the Prepliq Goethe C1 model test explain why a gap word is right?

Yes, in Reading Part 1 of Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test, the Lückentext, Show Explanation tells you why the right word fits each gap.

It appears after you answer in Instant mode, and for every gap when you review your test. So a Goethe C1 word choice you got wrong becomes one you understand before exam day.

How does Goethe C1 Listening work in the Prepliq model test?

In Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test, you practise all four Listening parts online: a podcast about books, an interview, a discussion and a lecture.

In the interview, you decide if each statement is true, false or not said at all. 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 email checked in the Goethe C1 model test?

Prepliq checks your forum post and email in the Goethe C1 model test on Goethe’s four official criteria, Aufgabenerfüllung, Kohärenz, Wortschatz, Strukturen. The forum post carries Goethe’s own 60 points and the email its 40.

You write a Forumsbeitrag of about 230 words on one of two topics and a Halbformelle E-Mail of about 120.

Every correction is marked on your own words, with the rule behind it and a Must fix or Should fix label. So you know what to fix in a C1 argument before exam day.

Can I practise the Goethe C1 talk and debate with a partner in the Prepliq model test?

Yes, in Prepliq’s Goethe C1 model test you give a talk of about 5 minutes on one of two topics, and Prepliq’s partner listens.

Then the partner asks 3 follow-up questions, at least one that challenges your argument. After that, you debate a topic, and the partner takes the opposite side at least once.

Prepliq scores the talk and the debate on Goethe’s official C1 speaking criteria, Fragen/Antworten and Interaktion included. So your exam-day talk isn’t the first one anyone has questioned.

How is the Goethe C1 model test scored in Prepliq?

Prepliq scores the Goethe C1 model test the way the modular C1 exam does: four modules, each out of 100 and each judged alone.

Each module needs 60 of 100 to pass. Goethe adds no C1 total, so your Prepliq result shows a Passed or Failed per module, Writing and Speaking included.

Do I pass the Prepliq Goethe C1 model test if one module is below 60 points?

No, under Goethe’s official rules a Goethe C1 module below 60 points is not passed, and Prepliq’s result marks it Failed, Reading as much as Speaking.

A strong Speaking score cannot make up for a weak Reading score. The modules you passed stay passed, so Prepliq’s result tells you exactly which one to work on.

How long is the Goethe C1 model test in Prepliq?

Prepliq’s full Goethe C1 model test has 3 hours 20 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 C1 model test in Prepliq show if I am ready?

Your Prepliq readiness card shows how ready each Goethe C1 module is, based on your own Goethe C1 model tests.

Never written the C1 forum post? Then Writing shows as a blind spot, not as a pass. Once all four modules are measured, the card names each one still below 60%, Goethe’s own pass line.

The readiness card is Prepliq’s estimate from your practice, not a Goethe result. It shows what to practise next.

Can I see my wrong answers in the Prepliq Goethe C1 model test?

Yes, Review Answers in Prepliq opens your whole Goethe C1 model test with your answers in place, and Review Section opens one module, such as Reading.

Each gap, author match and question shows your answer next to the correct one, and skipped ones are marked as skipped. So you know a Goethe C1 mistake before exam day.
