German B1 Exam Practice: 17 Printable Tests (telc Format)
17 complete written B1 exams in telc format, with answer sheet, explained answer keys and a model letter for every test. Try Test 01 free.
Most people do not fail B1 because their German is weak. They fail because the exam surprises them: the format, the timing, the trick in each task.
This pack makes sure nothing on exam day is new. Do the written exam 17 times before you sit it once.
How to use each test
- Print it and set a timer. 90 minutes for tasks 1 to 40, then 30 minutes for the letter.
- Mark your answers on the answer sheet. It looks like the real Antwortbogen.
- Check with the answer booklet. Every answer has a one-line reason in English. Read why you were wrong, not only your score.
- Steal the good sentences. Compare your letter with the model letter and reuse its expressions in the next test.
Every test covers the full written exam

What’s inside
Who it isn’t for
You need listening or speaking practice. This pack covers only the written parts you can train on paper: reading, language elements and writing. And if you are still at A2, these tests will mostly frustrate you. Build the basics first, then come back.
