What the app marks
- Schreiben: your text gets points for each official criterion and the reason for every lost point. At B1 the four criteria are task fulfilment, coherence, vocabulary and structures, each with a band from A to E, and every language error shows its words and the correction.
- Sprechen: you record your answers. Faust checks every required move of the task and marks task fulfilment, interaction, vocabulary and structures at B1.
- Lesen and Hören: scored by the answer key the moment you hand in.
- At B1, fixed, versioned rules turn what the model observes into criterion points, from the official exam criteria.
