Leseverstehen (Reading Comprehension)
75 points 70 min
Leseverstehen (Reading Comprehension)
Reading is the first part of the written telc B2 exam and the highest-scoring one: you can earn 75 points here. It has three parts with 20 tasks in total. Together with the Sprachbausteine (language elements) you have 90 minutes; plan around 70 of those for reading.
Sprachbausteine (Language Elements)
30 points 20 min
Sprachbausteine (Language Elements)
The Sprachbausteine are a short but important part of the written telc B2 exam: you fill gaps in two connected 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 20 minutes for them.
Hörverstehen (Listening Comprehension)
75 points 20 min
Hörverstehen (Listening Comprehension)
Listening is the third part of the written telc B2 exam. You hear various texts – news, an interview, 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 20 minutes for the whole listening section.
Schriftlicher Ausdruck (Written Expression)
45 points 30 min
Schriftlicher Ausdruck (Written Expression)
Written Expression is the part of the telc B2 exam where you produce text yourself: a letter or email of around 150 words. You have 30 minutes and can earn 45 points. Unlike at B1, you choose between two topics and address the content points given in the task.
Mündlicher Ausdruck (Oral Expression)
75 points 15 min
Mündlicher Ausdruck (Oral Expression)
Oral Expression – the speaking exam – is the last part of the telc B2 exam. You speak in three parts, usually in pairs with another candidate. The exam lasts around 15 minutes; beforehand you get about 20 minutes of preparation time. In total you can earn 75 points.

How much does the telc German B2 exam cost?

What is the difference between telc B1 and B2?
B2 is one level higher: the texts and listening passages are longer and more abstract, and in writing and speaking you have to argue and justify your opinion. B2 certifies independent language use at an advanced level.
