telc Deutsch B1 — 12-week thorough study plan

Von PreparaioAktualisiert am

The 12-week plan is the honest answer at A2 or below. Below near-B1, the missing element is usually grammar foundations and active vocabulary — not exam technique. Weeks 1–6 build those; Weeks 7–12 work through the exam itself.

Inhalt

Weeks 1–2 — baseline and format understanding

Take a mock exam (even if it feels hard). Honest error analysis: which skill is furthest below B1? Read the format and marking guide.

Weeks 3–4 — grammar reset

Deeper grammar: Präteritum vs. Perfekt, subordinate clauses (weil, dass, wenn, obwohl), prepositions with Dativ/Akkusativ, connectives (deshalb, trotzdem, außerdem).

  • Week 3: tenses and subordinate clauses.
  • Week 4: prepositions and connectives.
  • Daily: 20 minutes of grammar exercises.

Weeks 5–6 — topic vocabulary and Language Elements

Vocabulary by BAMF topics: work, housing, travel, health, education. In parallel, a focused Language Elements training phase.

Weeks 7–9 — rotating skill focus

Now exam technique across all four skills. Two writing tasks per week with correction, two listening tests, oral practice with a partner.

Weeks 10–12 — two simulations and taper

Two full exam simulations (Week 10 and Week 12) instead of one, with focused error clean-up between them. Last 48 hours: no new material.

  • Week 10: simulation 1.
  • Week 11: targeted error clean-up + oral polish.
  • Week 12: simulation 2 early in the week; then taper.

Häufige Fragen

Are 12 weeks enough from A2 to B1?

Usually yes, if you keep at least four practice sessions per week. A1 to B1 in 12 weeks is unrealistic — plan 20–24 weeks.

Why grammar so early?

Because Language Elements, Writing and Speaking all build on grammar accuracy. Skipping Weeks 3–4 costs points later that are harder to recover.
