The four cases and the adjective endings carried over, then what B1 adds: the genitive with the n-declension, relative clauses with their pronoun table, the passive in three tenses and with a modal, Konjunktiv II for polite, wishful and unreal sentences, the Plusquamperfekt with the time clauses, the infinitive clauses, and the 42 irregular verbs with their Präteritum.

The Whole B1 Exam on One Sheet of Paper
B1 is the exam that opens doors in Germany, and its Sprachbausteine draw on a known set of structures. Both sides hold that set, with the A1 and A2 grids carried over so the sheet stands on its own.
Sheet 1
The grammar
- The article grid in four cases and adjective endings in the three situations, carried over
- The genitive with the n-declension, relative clauses with the pronoun table, the passive with von and durch
- Konjunktiv II for polite, wishful and unreal sentences; the Plusquamperfekt with als, wenn, nachdem and bevor
- zu, um zu, ohne zu and statt zu, and the 42 irregular verbs with the Präteritum B1 reads and writes
Sheet 2
The exam kit
- The verb rails with the B1 sentence shapes: a clause first, a relative clause, the passive, Konjunktiv II
- Connectors by function and by what they do to the verb, indirect questions, wo- and da-
- 30 verbs with their prepositions, and the eight mistakes B1 candidates make most
- Schreiben: the informal email, the forum opinion, the formal email. Sprechen: plan, present, react

Before You Sign Up
Is the B1 cheat sheet really free?
Yes. Create a free Ankommo account and the two-page PDF is yours to download and print, along with the first five chapters of the B1 course. No card, no trial timer.
Which exams does it cover?
The Goethe-Zertifikat B1 (the same exam as the ÖSD ZB1) and telc Deutsch B1. Goethe B1 is modular with three Schreiben tasks and a presentation; telc B1 adds the Sprachbausteine. The sheet covers the grammar both papers sample and the frames for both.
Can I print it?
It is built for printing: two A4 pages, so double-sided gives you one sheet. The colours are light enough that a black-and-white print loses nothing, because each level chip carries its letters.
Why do I need an account to download it?
Every line on the sheet is a chapter in the course, with audio and exercises. An account gives you both, and lets us send you the sheet again if you lose it. The account is free and takes about thirty seconds with Google or an email address.
Is it enough on its own to pass the exam?
No cheat sheet is. It is the reference you keep next to your desk while you practise, and the thing you re-read the night before. The practice itself, with real exam formats, is in the course.
