Frequently asked questions
Is the Goethe B1 mock exam really free?
Yes. Every registered account includes one full Goethe B1 mock exam simulation at no cost — all four parts, under real timed conditions, with AI feedback. No credit card and no Pro subscription required to take it.
How realistic is the mock exam?
It mirrors the official Goethe B1 format: the same parts (Lesen, Hören, Schreiben, Sprechen), the same section order, server-enforced time limits, and proctored conditions with tab-visibility tracking. It is built around the real exam structure, not a generic quiz.
How is it scored?
Lesen and Hören are graded automatically. Schreiben and Sprechen are evaluated by AI in examiner mode — GPT-4o for writing, Whisper-1 plus GPT-4o for speaking — on a four-dimension rubric (grammar, vocabulary, coherence, task completion) aligned with the published B1 assessment criteria. You get an overall score and a pass band.
Goethe B1 or TELC B1 — which should I take?
Both are recognised CEFR B1 certificates accepted across Europe for residence, study, and citizenship; the format and scoring differ in detail. Certium covers both. See our full Goethe B1 vs TELC B1 comparison to choose.
