Why Prepliq · telc A1 model test
The best telc A1 model test for learners who want to pass
For telc A1 there are PDFs and books. But nobody checks your message there, and nobody plays the speaking cards with you. That is where Prepliq’s telc A1 model test comes in: the whole exam online, with feedback on every part.
Unlike a PDF you mark yourself, Prepliq checks your form against the key and scores your message and speaking on telc’s official criteria. And every new telc A1 mock test has unique questions. So you know before exam day which part still needs work.
You start the telc A1 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 · telc A1 model test
What the telc A1 model test in Prepliq gives you
Six reasons to take the telc A1 model test online, not on paper.
The full telc A1 model test
All four sections in telc’s official format, Listening first, or just the one you need.
telc A1 model test with answers, in two modes
Instant marks each answer right or wrong at once. Exam Mode shows everything after you hand in.
Your telc A1 writing, checked
Prepliq checks each form field against the key and your message on telc’s official criteria.
telc A1 speaking with a partner
Prepliq’s partner talks with you in all three parts, over topics, word cards and picture cards.
Ready for telc A1?
Your readiness card shows where you stand and what is still missing.
New questions in every German A1 mock test
Every new telc A1 model test has unique questions.
Practise by section
telc A1 model test by section: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking
Every part of the telc A1 model test follows telc’s official format, with Listening first. 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 A1 task is new to you on exam day.
Your result
Your telc A1 model test score: one total for the whole exam
Prepliq adds up your telc A1 model test and applies the pass mark the way telc does. Under telc’s official rules, telc A1 has one pass mark for the whole exam: at least 36 of 60 points.
In Prepliq’s result, no single section has a minimum, the same as at telc. So a strong Listening or Reading can carry a weak Speaking, and you see the one total that decides it.
Under telc’s official rules, you retake a failed telc A1 as the whole exam, with a new booking and a new fee.
Is your message or your speaking still being checked? Then the result adds the total and the verdict 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.

Writing and speaking
telc A1 writing and speaking in the model test, scored on telc’s criteria
Your telc A1 form and message, checked
In the telc A1 model test, Writing starts with a form. You fill its five gaps, and Prepliq checks each one against the key.
Then you write a short message with the three points in view and a word count as you type. Ask for feedback, and Prepliq checks it on telc’s two official writing criteria:
- Aufgabengerechtheit — did you answer every point the task asks for?
- Kommunikative Gestaltung des Textes — does it read like one message, with a greeting and a closing?
You get points for each criterion, with the reason for them. Every correction is marked on your own words, with the rule and a short reason. So you know what to change before exam day.

This closing needs the plural.
Ask, answer and make requests in telc A1 Speaking
You can’t practise speaking alone. In the telc A1 model test, Prepliq’s partner does all three parts with you. You introduce yourself, ask and answer with word cards, and make requests with picture cards.
The cards stay next to the conversation, and each one is struck off once you have used it. Record each turn and tap Done to send it. When a part is done, ask for feedback and Prepliq scores it on telc’s official speaking criterion:
- Aufgabe und Sprache — did you do the task, in German that someone can understand?
Prepliq scores it the way telc’s A1 sheet does: a task done clearly can earn full points, even with some mistakes. So you learn to speak up, and your exam-day conversation isn’t your first one.

Exam day readiness
Are you ready for telc A1? Your readiness from every mock test
Your Prepliq dashboard turns every telc A1 model test you take into one readiness card, Prepliq’s own. It averages all your finished telc A1 tests, full exams and single sections.
Each part counts with its points in the telc A1 total of 60. The more telc A1 tests you finish, the less one bad day moves the picture. The card gives you four answers:
telc A1 → exam day readiness
Based on the 1 test you've finished with a score

telc A1 confidence
How much evidence is behind your telc A1 estimate. It grows as you cover more of the exam and take more tests.
Done every telc A1 section except Writing? Then Writing shows “Not measured yet”. Writing is a quarter of your telc A1 total, so that gap matters.
One Writing practice starts to fill it. The form is checked against the key, so even a short session gives you a real number.
Ask yourself: would I pass telc A1 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.
New questions, repeats and history
Unlimited telc A1 model tests with unique questions
The more different telc A1 papers you take, the less your score depends on memory. When your scores hold up on new papers, you can trust them before exam day.
Start a new telc A1 mock test
With full access, Start new test gives you a new telc A1 model test with unique questions. Each one has new recordings, a new form, a new message task and new cards. Take a full exam or a single section.
Retake a telc A1 test
Want to redo a telc A1 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.

Every telc A1 test you finish stays in your history, with its date, time, score and Passed or Failed. View Report opens that result again.

telc A1 model test: PDF or online with Prepliq?
telc publishes a telc A1 Übungstest, a practice paper, as a PDF. It is official material, and you can print it and write on it.
But it is a fixed paper, and it can’t read your message or talk with you over the cards. Prepliq’s telc A1 practice test follows telc’s official format, online.
Use the PDF to see the official paper. Use Prepliq to check, as often as you need, if you are ready.

In Prepliq’s telc A1 model test, Listening comes first, as in telc’s exam, and you practise all three parts online.
You hear short texts, announcements and phone messages. You pick a, b or c, or mark a statement true or false. Show transcript lets you read a recording after you answer, so you see what you missed.
How does telc A1 Reading work in the Prepliq model test?
In Prepliq’s telc A1 model test, you practise all three Reading parts online, with each text next to its tasks.
In Part 1, you mark statements about two short texts true or false. In Part 2, you pick which of two adverts fits each task. In Part 3, you read signs and notices.

What does confidence mean on my readiness card in the Prepliq telc A1 model test?
