How to prepare for B2 Goethe Zertifikat: The written part

The written part of the B2 Goethe Certificate exam requires thorough preparation. Even if you already live in Germany and communicate in everyday life, this part can cause considerable problems. In fact, we don’t use such a high level every day. Many people fail the exam due to poor preparation for the written part.

In my preparation course for the B2 Goethe Certificate, examples and templates are provided that can be memorized to feel more confident. I also explain how this part is assessed, what you will receive points for, and what you will lose points for.

It is very important to understand the structure. If the examiner does not understand what you meant to say, you will not receive any points. That's why I give advice on how to better formulate your thoughts and which phrases to use so that the formulation matches the B2 level, not the A level. The course covers all four parts of the exam, vocabulary work, and mock tasks with answers.

However, when it comes to the written part, the difficulties often lie in the incorrect assessment of one’s own abilities. In my experience, I have had students who thought they would not pass, although they were already ready. I also had people who believed they wouldn’t have any problems but ended up being a few points short of the certificate. That’s why I recommend taking a trial exam on my website before the real exam, which will be of great importance. You will be able to experience the real exam atmosphere, with time control and original topics. The main value lies in having your work reviewed by an experienced teacher. You will receive not only a grade but also a detailed breakdown of how many points you got and lost for each part. In this way, you will understand how to improve your result. It is a unique opportunity to get an accurate assessment of your skills and know in which direction you need to move next!
