What the timed paper contains
The written session takes about 65 minutes: listening follows the recording, then reading and writing share one 45-minute clock.

Exam-day facts
- Allow about 10 minutes before the written paper for answer-sheet formalities.
- Hören, Lesen, Schreiben and Sprechen are worth 15 points each. The pass mark is 36 of 60 overall.
- Sprechen is a three-part group exam of about 15 minutes, normally with up to four candidates and no separate preparation time listed: introduce yourself, ask and answer everyday questions, then make and respond to requests.
- A failed result means retaking the complete exam. Individual sections cannot be carried forward.
- The official booklet suggests about 25 minutes for reading and 20 for writing inside the shared clock.
Sprechen stays separate
The real telc oral exam depends on other candidates and licensed examiners. Sprachpass does not pretend to reproduce that inside the timed paper. Speaking has its own practice and grading flow.
Two ways to take the same paper
Practice mode
- The same section clocks and recordings
- Save, leave and resume later
Real exam mode
- Hören plays Teile 1 and 3 twice, Teil 2 once
- Lesen and Schreiben share one 45-minute clock
- Leaving ends the attempt, after you confirm
How to read your result
The written result shows the section scores but no complete pass verdict. Sprechen is practised and graded separately because the real oral exam needs other candidates and examiners.
After the paper, your History keeps the question-by-question review. Insights uses your measured work to show which skills need attention. It never turns an unmeasured result into a promise.
