Reading is the first part of the written telc B1 exam and the highest-scoring one: you can earn 75 points here – more than in any other single part. It has three parts with 20 tasks in total. Together with the Sprachbausteine (language elements) you have 90 minutes; plan around 60 of those for reading.
The Sprachbausteine are a short but important part of the written telc B1 exam: you fill gaps in two short texts – once with grammar (Part 1), once with vocabulary (Part 2). Together that’s 20 tasks and 30 points. Importantly, the Sprachbausteine share a 90-minute block with reading; plan around 30 minutes for them.
Listening is the third part of the written telc B1 exam. You hear different texts – news, conversations, announcements – and decide for each statement whether it is true or false. In total that’s 20 tasks and 75 points in three parts. You have around 30 minutes for the whole listening section.
Written expression is the part of the telc B1 exam where you produce text yourself: a letter or email of about 150 words. You have 30 minutes and can earn 45 points. You get a short situation and four guide points (Leitpunkte) that you must all address.
Oral expression – the mündliche Prüfung – is the last part of the telc B1 exam. You speak in three parts, usually in a pair with another candidate. The exam lasts about 15 minutes; beforehand you have 20 minutes of preparation. You can earn 75 points in total.

It has a written and an oral part. In the written part you do reading, Sprachbausteine, listening and a letter (written expression); in the oral part you speak in three short tasks, usually in pairs with a partner.
The written part takes around 2.5 hours in total: 90 minutes for reading and Sprachbausteine together, plus listening and the letter. The oral exam takes about 15 minutes, with a short preparation time beforehand.
You pass telc German B1 with 60 % of the total points. There is no fixed minimum per part – you can offset weak parts with strong ones.
Practice each exam part separately, do full mock exams under real time conditions, and get feedback above all on the letter and speaking. At Prepliq you take realistic mock exams with instant scoring – writing and speaking are graded automatically against the official criteria.
Each exam center sets the fee itself – it isn’t cheap, and anyone who fails pays the full fee again at the next attempt. Ask your telc center directly about the current price and the next dates. A realistic Prepliq mock costs only a fraction of the exam fee and prepares you to pass first time – saving you the expensive retake.
