Before you register for an exam, you should know where you stand linguistically. Otherwise you risk the wrong level. Here you learn how to assess your German level.
How to assess your German level
How ready are you really?
Your Ready-Score shows you in a mock exam where you stand today. Free, no risk.
The levels range from A1 to C2. A first orientation is given by the so-called can-do descriptions: what can you already understand, say and write in German? It gets more precise with a placement test, and most precise of all is a mock exam under realistic conditions. What matters is to be honest with yourself. Which certificates exist is shown in which German certificate do I need.
Why this is important before registering
The wrong level costs time and money. So choose specifically, do you need B1 or B2 helps with this, and an overview is given by which German certificate do I need. How much time you should plan up to your goal is in how long to reach B1.
Next step
Once your level is set, look at the procedure, for example on the page on the telc B1 exam.
The bottom line
Assess your level with can-do descriptions, a placement test or a mock exam before you register. That way you choose the right level and save yourself detours.
