About Faust
Pass your Goethe exam without the anxiety tax.
Sit the real paper before you sit the real paper.
Why this exists
A Goethe exam costs €235 to €290 and a seat is booked months ahead. Most people who sit one are not doing it for pleasure. They need it for a visa, for citizenship, for a nursing licence, for a university place. Failing costs the fee again and pushes the whole plan back a season.
The worst part is not the German. It is walking in without knowing whether you are above the line. Textbooks tell you what a Teil is. Official Modellsätze give you one shot each, then you know the answers. Neither one tells you your score.
Faust exists to remove that blindness. You take a full paper under exam conditions, you get the score and the Teil that cost you the points, and you do it again on a fresh paper. By the time you book the exam, the result is not a surprise.
How it works
- Real papers
- Every paper is built to the official blueprint for that level and module. Same Teile, same minutes, same pass mark, so a score here means something on exam day.
- Marked on submit
- You get the result the moment you hand the paper in, broken down by Teil. No waiting, no self-marking against an answer key you already peeked at.
- A tutor that read your paper
- Ask about the question you lost. The tutor already has the text, your answer and the right one, so you never have to explain the question first.
6 levels, 3 written modules, 18 paper formats. Flashcards sit alongside them. Speaking is not yet available.

What we promise
- We are not the Goethe-Institut
- Faust is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the Goethe-Institut. We issue no certificates. A score here is a practice score.
- The free paper is a real paper
- Not a sample, not three questions. A full scored paper, with no account and no card.
- Prices end by themselves
- The Faust Pass costs €29.99 once and runs to your exam date. It stops on its own. There is nothing to cancel.
- No manufactured panic
- No countdown that resets when you reload, no discount that expires twice, no mascot guilt. Your exam date is pressure enough.
The fastest way to judge any of this is to take a paper.
