Why this exists
You have an exam date. You need practice that makes the next study session count: a fresh paper, a clear result and help with the questions that slowed you down.
Official sample papers are a useful starting point. Once you know their answers, you need new material. Faust brings papers, audio, speaking practice and a tutor together in one place.
Finish a paper, review your answers and ask why. Turn unfamiliar words into flashcards, revisit the parts you found difficult and come back to a fresh paper when you are ready.
How it works
- Practice that feels like exam day
- Choose your level and practise the task types, timing and skills you will need on exam day. Download the paper or work through it in your browser.
- 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, from A1 to C2. Reading, listening, writing and speaking, with an AI tutor and flashcards alongside your papers. Browse the practice paper library or read the guide in Portuguese. See how Faust marks, with marked writing and speaking samples.

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.
- Start with a free paper
- Try a full practice paper before choosing a plan. Paid options, introductory offers and renewal terms are shown before you buy.
- 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.
