This page links the official practice set, shows what Faust Academy gives you on top, a real marked sample, and how Faust Academy compares with the apps and websites learners ask about.

### Start with the official practice set

The Goethe-Institut publishes practice material for the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 at no cost. For adults it offers two practice sets as PDF with audio and solutions, a word list, and an accessible online training that shows right or wrong. It tells you to print the candidate sheets, set the clock to the time limit and compare your results with the solutions in the PDF.

Use these sets first, because they are the real format. The page describes no marking of a text you write or a talk you give, so a marked tool is the next step for Schreiben and Sprechen.

### A marked sample: Goethe B1 Schreiben

A sample text by the Faust team, marked by the live Faust marker on 16 October 2026, exactly as your own text is marked.

Task: Sie haben am Wochenende bei Ihrer Freundin Anna übernachtet. Schreiben Sie an Anna. Bedanken Sie sich für die Einladung. Beschreiben Sie, wie Ihre Rückreise war. Schlagen Sie ein neues Treffen vor. Schreiben Sie eine E-Mail

Text: Liebe Anna, vielen Dank für das schöne Wochenede bei dir. Ich habe mich gefreut, dass du mich eingeladen hast. Es war schön, dass ich auch mit deine Mutter sprechen konnte. Das Essen war super. Die Rückreise war leider schlecht. Der Zug hatte eine Stunde Verspätung, weil es ein Problem mit dem Signal gab. Ich bin erst um elf Uhr nach Hause gekommen, ich war sehr müde und habe gleich geschlafen. Wollen wir uns im Mai wieder treffen? Wir könnten am Samstag ins Museum gehen, danach ich koche für dich. Viele Grüße Mira

### The marks for this text

| Criterion | Band | Points |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Aufgabenerfüllung (task fulfilment) | A | 10 of 10 |
| Kohärenz (coherence) | A | 10 of 10 |
| Wortschatz (vocabulary) | A | 10 of 10 |
| Strukturen (structures) | B | 7.5 of 10 |
| Total |  | 37.5 of 40 |

### Why points are missing

- Strukturen (structures), Spelling: "Wochenede" becomes "Wochenende". Wochenende needs the letter n. 0.5 points
- Strukturen (structures), Word form: "deine" becomes "deiner". mit takes dative: mit deiner Mutter. 1 point
- Strukturen (structures), Word order: "Wir könnten am Samstag ins Museum gehen, danach ich koche für dich" becomes "Wir könnten am Samstag ins Museum gehen, danach koche ich für dich." After danach, the verb comes second. 1 point

### A marked sample: Goethe B1 Sprechen

A transcript of a Goethe B1 Sprechen part 1, written by the Faust team, scored 25 of 28 points. The marker reads which required moves the candidate made and what each turn does. Fixed code then sets the bands: Aufgabenerfüllung (task fulfilment) B, 6 of 8; Interaktion (interaction) B, 3 of 4; Wortschatz (vocabulary) A, 8 of 8; Strukturen (structures) A, 8 of 8.

Faust marks every turn on the official criteria and names the rule behind every lost point, so you know what to say better in the exam.

- Let Faust mark your own writing and speaking, the parts nobody else grades for you, on the official criteria with a reason for every lost point.
- Faust fits any exam date: a monthly plan you cancel any time, or the Faust Pass as one payment with no subscription.
- Practise until your Faust score sits above the pass mark in every part, then book your exam date.

### The Goethe B1 exam in short

Goethe B1, B2, C1 and C2 are modular. You can take Lesen, Hören, Schreiben and Sprechen alone or together, and each passed module gets a certificate.

Goethe B1, B2, C1 and C2: each module has 100 points. You pass a module with 60 points.

Faust Academy is independent practice. It is not a product of the Goethe-Institut and issues no certificates.
