telc A1 Exam Preparation Online

telc Deutsch A1 and the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 are one exam. Start Deutsch 1 was developed jointly by telc and the Goethe-Institut, which means one syllabus, one booklet format and one mock cover both certificates.

The shape is fixed: four modules on one day, Hören 20 minutes, Lesen 25, Schreiben 20 and Sprechen 15, worth 60 points between them. You pass at 36, and the certificate reports that as 60 of 100.

So the only question left is where you actually stand today. Ankommo has six full Start Deutsch 1 mocks in the official layout, scored on the real 36-point line, and four of the questions run below without an account.
