telc Deutsch B1 — 4-week intensive plan

Von PreparaioAktualisiert am

The 4-week plan assumes a near-B1 starting point (strong A2, weak B1). Below that, plan more generously. Priority is exam format, not new vocabulary — in four weeks, points come from routine, not new topics.

Inhalt

Week 1 — understand the format and baseline

Read the format, take one full written mock under time pressure, categorise errors by skill (Reading, Language Elements, Listening, Writing, Speaking).

  • Days 1–2: read format and rubric.
  • Days 3–5: one full mock, written, real timing.
  • Day 6: categorise errors; note top 3 weaknesses.

Week 2 — Reading and Language Elements

One task of each Reading type daily. Revise connectives and prepositions — the Language Elements section is point-for-point trainable.

  • Days 1–5: one Reading task per type (Parts 1, 2, 3).
  • Daily: 15 minutes Language Elements focused on connectives/prepositions.

Week 3 — Listening and Writing

Two full writing tasks a week, corrected. Two full listening tests a week — focus on numbers, names, times.

  • Days 1–3: listening test 1; error analysis.
  • Days 3–4: writing task 1 with correction.
  • Days 5–6: listening test 2 and writing task 2.

Week 4 — Speaking and simulation

Oral simulation as a threesome (partner + examiner role); two full exam simulations under real conditions. Last 48 hours before the exam: no new material.

  • Days 1–2: oral simulation (Parts 1, 2, 3).
  • Day 3: full simulation 1 end-to-end.
  • Day 5: full simulation 2 end-to-end.
  • Days 6–7: light review, sleep well.

Häufige Fragen

Is one month enough if I already speak B1?

If you have near-B1 competence and invest a lot of time, yes. Without prior exam practice, one month is tight — plan for at least six weeks.

What if I am below A2?

4 weeks is too short. Switch to the 12-week plan and build vocabulary first.
