Modellsatz Erwachsene – Goethe-Zertifikat C1 (modular)
46 Pages · Publisher: Goethe-Institut
What's inside the PDF
The official Goethe-Institut Modellsatz contains a complete C1 exam (modular) 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 C1 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 simple 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 C1 Modellsatz free?
Yes. The Goethe-Institut provides a complete Modellsatz (modular) 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 in the PDF. For writing and speaking there are assessment criteria and performance examples, but no simple model answer, because an examiner grades them.
Is this the modular exam?
Yes. The Goethe-Zertifikat C1 is modular: you can take the four modules (reading, listening, writing, speaking) together or separately. We link the current modular Modellsatz.
Can I take the modules separately?
Yes. In the Goethe-Zertifikat C1 you can take each module separately and pass or repeat it 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.
