## Frequently asked questions

### How is the Goethe-Zertifikat C1 structured?

### How long does the Goethe-Zertifikat C1 take?

The modules last: reading 65 minutes, listening around 40 minutes, writing 75 minutes and speaking around 20 minutes (with preparation). With breaks it’s roughly half a day in total.

### How many points do I need to pass the Goethe-Zertifikat C1?

Each module is scored out of 100 points. To pass you need at least 60 of 100 points (60 %) in each module. Each module is graded separately.

### Can I retake individual modules?

Yes. In the Goethe-Zertifikat C1 (modular) you can retake a module you didn’t pass on its own, without redoing the whole exam.

### What is the difference between telc C1 and the Goethe-Zertifikat C1?

Both certify the C1 level but have a slightly different format. The Goethe-Zertifikat C1 is modular, so you can take the four modules separately. Check which exam your exam center offers.

### How can I prepare for the Goethe-Zertifikat C1?

Practice each module separately, do full model tests and get feedback above all for writing and speaking. At Prepliq you do realistic mock exams with instant scoring – writing and speaking are graded automatically against the official criteria.

### How much does the Goethe-Zertifikat C1 cost?

Each Goethe-Institut or exam center sets the fee itself. Ask your exam center directly for the current price and the next dates. Anyone who fails pays again for the next attempt – a realistic Prepliq mock costs only a fraction of that and prepares you to pass first time.
