Study plans

A calm plan from today to exam day

Pick your board and level. Each plan tells you what to practise each week and when to pause, rehearse or add more time.

About this page

A1 and A2 use four weeks. B1 and B2 use eight.

These plans prepare the exam format, so add language-learning time if you are still building the level itself.

The numbers

Eight plans, one rhythm

8Plans. One per board and level from Goethe A1 to telc B2.
4 or 8 weeksLength. Four weeks at A1 and A2, eight weeks at B1 and B2.

How to use it

Step by step, inside your week

  1. Step 1: Open the plan on Monday and copy the week's focus line and checkpoint onto one card. That card is the whole brief for the week.

  2. Step 2: Give every study day a Hören slot first, even a short one. Listening rewards repetition more than any other skill in these plans.

  3. Step 3: Alternate Lesen and Schreiben on weekdays and keep Sprechen aloud, never silent. A speaking answer only counts once you have said it.

  4. Step 4: Use the checkpoint sentence on Friday as a yes or no question. A no means repeat the week before adding the clock.

  5. Step 5: On a mock checkpoint week, sit the mock in Real exam mode only once the format already feels familiar. A free account has one mock, so use the earlier checkpoints for timed practice runs and keep the mock for the last one.

  6. Step 6: Use the pace options when life changes. Two weeks is only for learners who have finished the level; eight weeks adds language time before the exam weeks.

Bruno's tip. Ten minutes of Hören on a busy day still counts. The plan bends; the daily listening slot should not.

Questions

What people ask first

Is four weeks enough for A1 or A2?

Four weeks can be enough when your German is already near the level. If the first two weeks show large language gaps, add time before the timed rehearsal block.

Why do B1 and B2 get eight weeks?

Goethe B1 and B2 are modular exams and telc B1 and B2 combine a written paper with an oral paper, so each skill needs its own preparation cycle. Eight weeks gives a baseline, a training block, two timed rehearsals and a taper.

How many days a week should I practise?

Five or six short days usually work better than one long weekend. Keep one lighter day and protect daily listening when it appears in the plan.

Can I compress a plan into two weeks?

Only after finishing the level. Every plan has a two-week option for a retake or one weak module, and it never compresses all four skills into that window.

What does a mock checkpoint mean?

It is a week where the plan asks for a timed rehearsal. Free accounts have one mock over the account lifetime, so use Practice mode runs for the earlier checkpoints and save the full mock for the last one.

Does a plan teach me German?

No: each plan makes the exam format familiar and gives weak skills more room. It cannot promise a result or replace the language level underneath.

When should I book the exam?

Use a timed rehearsal as evidence. If the format feels familiar and your results are steady across skills, check current dates on BookGermanTest; if not, extend the repair block first.

Where do the plans come from?

Each plan is built from the official Modellsatz and exam rules for its board and level, and every plan page lists those documents. The sources on this page point to the same material.

What happens after the week-six rehearsal on an eight-week plan?

Week seven repairs whatever fell below its pass line, a Goethe module or a telc paper, and keeps the rest warm. Week eight tapers into short daily contact, one final rehearsal early in the week, then rest and logistics, and its checkpoint closes the plan: exam day should feel familiar, and if it does not, add repair time instead of cramming.

What if my German is still below the level?

Every plan has a starting-point card for that case: add language-learning weeks first, then begin the exam weeks. The plan prepares the format, not the whole language level, and the checkpoints will show quickly if the level is missing.

How do the plans split time between the four skills?

Each plan carries its own skill split. Hören gets a short daily slot on every plan, Lesen moves from untimed accuracy to timed sets, Schreiben repeats the exact task shapes, and Sprechen is rehearsed aloud, with the weakest skill given the extra session.
